Dear Jim, first of all I read about your treatments and wish you all the
best. It would be great if hearing improves, that you could hear music, but
it isall bound to take long.
With admiration I read about what you and Rob are doing with computer,
copying texts etc. I find myself already heroic when I get Norton installed
on my harddisk or replace a toner cartridge for the printer.
I am not a type for websites, prefer books, so I am not sorry I have a Mac.
I like to dive into texts, teacup in hand, in my easy chair. I have many
commentaries now, but when I need a subcommentary, maybe I can ask you or
Robert.
I shall look at my Thai edition of the Co. to Patisambiddhamagga,
interesting, the twelvefold classification.
I looked, but could not find it. I see a lot on the <word sutta> and then
the lakkhana etc. of ~naana, after that ch on sila. I shall paste this to
Num, he could ask his aunt.
Best wishes from Nina.
