Actually, turned out that in the shop where i got the new keyboard there was pinned up a name and number of a young fellow who will take care of all used computer stuff, even pay cash for some of it apparently, so 'The End' is maybe not all that inevitable ... Vonnegut would have approved imho, he seems to me a bit of a recyclist, extending development of his characters from one book to another, a smart and practical move since poofing them entirely would mean having to start up new ones from scratch, which would be a lot more work than just tweaking and re-forming the old ... nowhere is he on record saying 'There is something new under the sun', he seems to recognise that everything comes from something else, perhaps not in a fashion promoted by any particular religious whacko, but in some way the death of one form is the beginning of life for another My two and a half year old daughter is coming to terms with this phenomenon, finds it a bit troubling that while horses are wonderful animals who eat from your hand and produce horseshit which fertilises flowers, they also eat and stomp on flowers in full bloom just as she was about to pick and/or stomp on them herself ... were she to begin formulation of a fiction series or religion based on life experience to date, all the eternal concepts are there, no problem Had Vonnegut applied his imagination to playing the juniors he likely would have done well, as the same principles apply, nothing really dies, it just gets converted, and always always without exception passes at some point through the HS* Stage ... and then blooms anew, often in the same location on the planet, example being the death of wim.to fertilising the resurrection of goz.v after passing the rather loose bowels of Minmet ... and the money we lost on William and Greenstone and all the other losers over the ages? - no worries mate, someone else has it now He would have made a good upstanding pillar of the thread too, leaning as he did toward being informative - here is one of his rules for writing - '8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.' * - 'You realize, of course, that everything I say is horseshit.' en.wikiquote.org
