Just finished Meeting At Corvallis a couple days ago.  :)

Since I almost exclusively buy paperback, I'm waiting until next September
for Sunrise Lands.  I should probably start the Nantucket series, since
they're vaguely related.  And I have Conquistador, which sounds interesting
too.  Oh, I also read one of the 5th Millennium series, but haven't gotten
around to collecting more.  :)

Yeah, I like Stirling.

What's the problem with floppies surviving?  Doesn't seem like EMP would be
a big deal for them.
