Re: More techhead advice needed...go!

Well, then. I can't say much on the Samsung, since I have no experience with it. Personally, I have the Casio G'Zone Commando. Why? I know myself, and the phone is the most rugged smart-phone available. Only through Verizon, although that's OK because they have probably the best network in the US. T...

Re: Inception, chapter 1.

Sheesh! I get distracted for a few hours and I'm halfway down page two. Of course, I have yet to find the posting early enough to get on page one. Unless I get extremely lucky, I'll never be the first poster. Anyway, way to go, Fel! Can't wait to read it.

Re: ERB

I'm dating myself, I saw ERB and thought "Edgar Rice Burroughs", which author I have read much of over the years. Ditto. And I like the comment by Kit when he was interviewing at Lone Star: "ABR. Anything but Rap." My personal opinion, as an old fart and professionally trained m...

Re: Setting up RSS Reader

Being a Linux user (Linux Mint, to be specific), I do things differently. RSS is simple, and I use the NewsFox extension for Firefox. Works quite well. X-Notifier also works in Firefox. Those are actually o/s agnostic, they're strictly Firefox. Makes it easy, no?

Re: Just so you know...

Can't wait. I think I'm going to enjoy this arc. Of course, I enjoy every arc you've written, and I expect you'll continue at your usual level of excellence.

I'll wait, albeit impatiently. 8)

Re: Earth Bond, chapter 23.

Great! Another chapter, and actually sooner than I expected. Hope that trend continues.

And the timing is great, too. I'm moving in a couple of days, and this arrived in time for me to read it before it got insanely crazy. And I'll be back on line by the time the next chapter comes out. Woot!

Re: Earth Bond, chapter 22.

Impressive! And outstandingly done. The attack and its description were great, and I really enjoyed reading this. I finally got some legal issues cleared up yesterday, so I found and read this just now. Now back to tapping toes and twitching fingers until Fel gives us something. waiting ... waiting ...

Re: Okay, resident techheads, advice time.

OK, for buying a complete system, I go with TigerDirect, then I go over to the refurbished section. You get what is essentially a brand new system at about 40% of the cost of new, usually including a full factory warranty. I just placed an order on a 17" HP AMD quad-core that lists there for ab...

Re: Earth Bond, chapter 21.

And I was awake and on the computer when this was posted. Makes me grumpy that I missed it, I could have made it onto the first page of replies, for the first time. Oh, well. I think I was up too early and checked before it was posted. And excellent chapter, Fel, and I can't wait for the next instal...

Re: Kit, chapter 42.

Once again, it's time to bump the thread. As far as I've been able to discover, Fel doesn't have any plans for new chapters for this story. At least, not yet. I'd really like to see some more writing here, though. This is one of my favorite stories anywhere. Of course, of all of the authors posting ...

Re: News from the world of Fel.

I'm looking forward to new chapters of Earth Bond, it's one of my favorite tales. The new tale sounds intriguing. If you really want to have the physics right, there are lots of geeks around to help you. I wouldn't have the physics be a significant part of the storyline, though, just background. Alt...

Re: Secession, chapter 10.

Well, here I am again, a day late and a dollar short. Been so busy I haven't had time to keep up with everything. This is a great chapter, although the tying up of all the loose ends seems a bit forced. Then again, it's one of the longest chapters I've seen in a very long time. So Fel is forgiven. E...

Re: update?

Actually, Path Walker would be more consistent with the earlier books. For myself, any release is good news, although I must admit a definite preference for Earth Bond or Kit. Or Legacy, that's been languishing for far too long. Beyond that, and despite my preferences, you will write whatever you do...

Re: Secession, chapter 9.

Great chapter. Kudos to the author.

I expect one to three more, depending on how evil Fel is feeling. (And how energetic.)

The Kimdori released their stream weapon to the Karinnes? That was a shocker. And I'm sure Myleena has been all over it.
