I fished out a video of this 30 minute Banks question time
from over 2 years ago. Other than remembering what a great
afternoon it was, I wondered how many in the audience are
still hanging around this newsgroup. Pete? Gary? Chris?

Interesting that he said that his next "M" book will "probably
be about the Culture" !!!

Hanging about - but only just...

....and I also bring news -
There's an update on www.fastness.co.uk - a new IMB image, the first update
in a rather long while; from Feersum Endjinn this time
