Make sure it's really worth more than one look. Make sure the pages are where they should be. It's not as heavy as my CRT. Lojbab, send be a tome. Have it delivered direct to my home. I like to read with the book in my lap. My desktop system keeps squashing me flat. Lojbab, I read lying down. The CRT keeps making me frown. 'Cause when I hold it up over my head, I soon wake up in a hospital bed. My computer is heavy to lug, and when I trip I get squashed like a bug. That's not to mention the bills that come due each time I ruin a new CPU. So Lojbab send me, please, please send me a book. fanmo (I tried doing the last line in lojban, but the best I got was: ko cu benji i. ko cu benji lo cukta ku mi and that doesn't even include a couple of pe'u's)
