Help deciphering a note

I got a note from a friend. He has really bad handwriting and I can't figure out this one part. It looks like it says "Have you seen 'The Sorrows of Boner or Meditations in the Island of Bbq'?", but this doesn't make any sense to me and I tried a google search. Please help.--216.164.192.144 01:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Almost! He meant "The Sorrows of Boney or Meditations in the Island of Elba". I get at least one Google hit for that. — Kieff 01:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

As in Boney and Elba, I presume. --Seejyb 03:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep. It is a caricature of Napoleon by Turner. See page 362 of . --mglg_(talk) 01:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Computers

I want to learn about computers. Can someone please tell me where on the web I could do this? The article here is too complicated for a beginner. I did not put this in the computer catagory because I consider this a question about learning. Musli Miester 01:20, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Start here ? --Light current 01:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, but I know how to do all that. I want to know how a computer works. Musli Miester 02:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

OK try this --Light current 02:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

The field of computers is constantly changing. There is no good place to start really, as everything is connected to everything else, and it is circular. Just jump in learning about some aspect of computers that fascinates or interest you, and read trade magazines, go to the library, buy books from amazon, and establish that interest as a beach-head for topics related to that.
