Nothing at the moment, but I have just printed off the installation document for Mac4Lin, which at 40 pages kinda qualifies as a book.

In the last six days, I have read THREE Michael Connelly books- Trunk Music, Angels Flight and A Darkness More Than Night. They are just so good that once I get into them I can't put them down and yet they are still so easy to read.
I am now thinking of re-reading Apache (the helicopter, not the native Americans) just to slow down on the MC books before I run out.

^ I considered that Apache book, but decided I have enough unread books around me (at the moment), what did you make of it?

A really good read and from a military perspective I haven't read anything about helicopter crew before so there was something else new. The part that really got me is that the Hellfire missiles have a limited life on the aircraft before vibration and other forces cause too much damage or chance of malfunction, so they don't have a problem using them. Their cannon is so deadly and likewise their rockets that in a built up area they used a Hellfire to target just two guys because it was their most accurate weapon and as it is designed to penetrate armour, it is not a fragmentation weapon. The biggest piece that they found was an arm.  Not pleasant, I admit, but amazing!! _________________My lowest spec operational system- AT desktop case, 200W AT PSU, Jetway TX98B Socket 7, Intel Pentium 75Mhz, 2x16MB EDO RAM, 270MB Quantum Maverick HDD, ATI Rage II+ graphics, Soundblaster 16 CT2230, MS-DOS/Win 3.11 My Flickr
