Hi, Anton Shepelev!
I read your message from 16.04.2022 18:13

  AS>>> -- They say Windows is user-friendly. -- But it is very picky
  AS>>> about whom it calls a friend!

  AK>> You probably didn't meet system where a user should type type
  AK>> commands manually. ;)

  AS> No, I have had (asexual) intercourse with such systems: MS-DOS and
  AS> Linux.

So you should know what is more friendly for a user. ;)

  AK>> Have been to Moscow sometimes? There are shops with English
  AK>> literature there.

  AS> They have neither the literature not the publishers that I crave.
  AS> Nothing from Centipede press, Hippocampus press, or Library of
  AS> America. No Lord Dunsany, Arthur Machen, or Clark Ashton Smith. By
  AS> the way, the latter writer has been published in Russian, with
  AS> excellent illustrations:

  AS> https://fantlab.ru/blogarticle35891
  AS> (there are three volumes in total)

I have been to the shop in Kuznecky Most street -- there are a lot a 
books there. Although, it was quite a while ago.

  AS> But I read a lot from Project Gutemberg on my Pocketbook Education!

I also read some books in e-form. Fro instance, now I am reading Jule 
Verne "Round the moon". I like it. ;)

  AS> P.S.: Congratulations upon capitalisation of your name :-)

It was the initiative of Tommi's gate, not mine. Long ago when fidonet 
was a quiet populous place there were many people with initials AK, and 
it was confusing to have discussions with them. So I modestly had made 
my initials small. ;)

Bye, Anton!
Alexander Koryagin
