Bugger. Somewhere on this desk, there used to be a datakey: only 1GB, but that is enough to hold my entire life's work, written and to come.

Trouble is, the datakey is on a lanyard. Which is by definition a long dangly thing. And long dangly things, by ancient tradition, belong to the boys for playing with.

*departs, to search house for datakey...*

I was putting 450 books on a 2Gb datakey today, ready for when my ebook reader arrives. And thinking how easy it would be, these days, to lose the Library of Alexandia down the back of the sofa.

"The Library of Alexandria's gone again."

"Oh no. The Sphinx has probably been playing with it. Have you looked under the pyramids?"
