    The first clue word is "control" but I haven't gone further than that.

    First one is control, then chaos, then darkness. Then the screen freezes with a "Loading".

    Thanks for the answers. I was able to go quite a few places by clicking on the computer screens.

    I like that Marsha Defilippo is the writer on several newspaper articles, and that at the end of some pieces there is cryptic stuff like "bocnia hersagovena" (SP?), and Nortwestern Positronics etc.

    "Bosnia Hersogovena" is also written on the website Under Debbie's Blue Umbrella.

    I get the lights on and the monitors working. When I click on a monitor it says "Please update your Web browser" on the monitor.

    How do I get past that?

    What browser are you using? I'm using the newest version of Firefox and not having any problems.

    On the newer versions you click the three bar icon at the top right. Then click the question mark icon at the bottom of the window that opened. Then click on "About Firefox."

    I'm still a fifth of the way through the book, and for the most part I'm digging it, especially from Hodges's perspective. But I just wanted to post that, at this juncture, I think King has made a grievous error in characterization of the bad guy. I don't care how King had to emphasize Hartsfield's villainy by making him a racist to boot. It took a truly fascinating character and turned him into an unbearable caricature, and I think that in doing so, I just lost interest in any of the perspective of Hartsfield's scenes. I don't mind it if it feels germane to the character (i.e. Henry and Butch Bowers), but here it feels like it was heaped on to shock and disgust the reader. You're better than that, Sai King.

    I have Firefox 30.0. The problem I am having with that browser is that I use NoScript, Ghostery, Adblock Plus, and a cookie blocker. I thought I allowed everything but something is still blocking something.

    The highest version of internet explorer for Vista, which this machine is running, is IE9. So no go there.

    I'll just have to use the lady's laptop. Too much trouble on this set-up.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the book. As a "Crime" novel I liked it a little more than "Joyland", but to me that book was a "tweener" in some ways. Crime novel, yes but also something I can't put my finger on. "Mr. Mercede's" and especially, Mr. Hodges reminded me a lot of Det. Kinderman from "The Exorcist" in many ways.

    Don't know if this has been mentioned here:

    From the UK/Hodder & Stoughton edition, page 83:

    Hodges and Peeples meet:

    "Radney, not Rodney," Hodges says. "Like Radney Foster, the country singer."
    Foster's face breaks into a grin. "That's right."

    Foster's face??

    The US edition has the same mistake on page 90.

    Foster's (sic - should read Peeples) face breaks into a grin. "That's right."
    "Mr Peeples, my name is Bill Hodges, I ended my tour as a Detective First Class, and my last big case was the Mercedes Killer. I'm guessing that'll give you a pretty good idea of what I'm doing here."
    "Mrs Trelawney," Foster (sic - should read Peeples) says, and steps back respectfully as Hodges opens his car door, gets out, and stretches.
