Interesting, btw. for me a flat should look like this room:

While I'm happy to be younger than this man, still having long hair.

I'm doing 'something' :), but I'm not interested in opening a shop. I've
a lot to do with migrants and such social issues. Btw. before there was
the web, there already were public libraries, not only for people who
wish to read, sciences and arts already before there was the Internet
spread information for free by pictures :). Full ACK with this quote,
exactly the way I'm living. Note, most of my computer originally is from
bulk dump, I only changed parts, when there was the need to do so. E.g.
now I had to buy a new mouse, because Debian and Ubuntu dropped the
support ;). I'm using PPPoE and a monitor ;) and even the RME sound card
is less expensive than a valid 4-Track cassette recorder was. I'm
completely against secrecy of knowledge. I'm a thorn in e.g. Dirk
Brauner's flesh, regarding to this. I should sell my knowledge to
Neumann *lol*.

Off-list? Who cares, I already pushed Group reply ..., but really a
little bit too OT IMO.

Are this audio books those celebrated standard works? In my mind there
are white book covers with blue letters, I saw in the hands of other
people, I never 'read' those books myself. Perhaps I'm confusing the
books with "Röhrentechnik ganz modern" it's white and blue.

Cheers!

Ralf
