A experienced hobby cook, the best at least in this appartment is relaxing after preparing a traditional Italian festivity lunch: "Saltimbocca a la Romana" Came with semi-grilled rosmary potatos, seared green peaes (I use only iron pans and virgine olive oil for cooking) with hacked airdried ham and airdried tomatoes from Italy, watersoaked, dried and panfried. It was followed by a not to sweet (fat free) high rising orange sufflee. The trick how to do nice sufflees which never collapse is simple (at least from a chemical viewpoint) but would bore a forum where most folks are down to earth and evidently more familiar with MacDonalds shining offerings. Relaxing for me means checking the news on the net on a Apple (Pismo) Powerbook. For news especially for the vast USA newspaper market nothing comes close to the RSS reader "Shrook". I scan 150 international channels (90% USA). Apples Pismo is the best Powerbook Apple ever produced in its history. In fact the Pismo PowerBook was the best hardware Apple ever shipped - besides the legendary Newton 2001D I still use regulary.

The lunch is a farewell to our hiptop lending. I have to return it today evening to ONE. ONE is the only provider in Austria currently selling the hiptop service. The demand for the hiptop was dramatically underestimated in Austria. Layman, journalists and self esteemed expert, you name them, where totally mistaken. People are standing in line to get "their" hiptop. The monthly data flatrate of 20€ only is a really attractive offer from ONE. We are not easy to impress, we are seasoned Newton, I have my wallet ready for "my" hiptop and shall get one as soon as possible. Cheers! Boris Michael von Luhovoy publishing editor
