After reading the Thing #22 material, I set out to experience e-books, audio books, or downloading books onto my computer on blank CD's. After struggling for quite some time, I discovered that my computer wasn't equipped to allow me to download onto my PC the program that would allow me to download a book to read. I needed Administration permission to do that.
PROJECT GUTENBERG to the rescue. Here was a site that allowed me to download all the books in the world that have an expired copyright. I can simply search their library, find a good book (Hemingway and the like), then click and the book is right their on my home computer screen for me to read. You try it. Just click kon the words Project Guttenberg above. Well, I did and searched and found Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Now I can read it on my computer whenever I want to by clicking on the title of the book above. You try it. It's all free, but the Gutenberg people would appreciate a donation if you can manage one. How wonderful . . . and I found an old Disney picture from the movie on flickr!
