Four years elapsed before I changed the computer again.

I wanted to be able to access the Internet and needed a

faster computer with more RAM and a larger hard drive.

I chose the Power Mac 7220/200. And as unbelievable

as it may seem, I still use it today, although I added

more RAM to it, replaced the CD drive with a CD burner

and ‘upgraded’ to Mac OS 8.6.

I know that I will not be able to use it for ever and will

probably buy a G3 or a G4 in the not too distant future

and venture into the new world of OS X, but for the time

being my venerable 7220 still does all that I want to do.

Of course, I am most grateful to the expert members of

our SA Apple Users’ Club whose frequent assistance

makes that possible.

Oh, I almost forgot! I did manage to write my book.

Love’s Cadenza, a migrant’s story 1939–1956

was pub-

lished in Adelaide in 1999.

The Polish text on the previous page is part of an article

about the Festival of Arts 2000 opera

Writing to Ver-

meer

which I wrote for a Polish monthly in Adelaide. It

reads:

‘When the curtain went up, we saw the centre of the

stage raised and around it there was water! At times

water was also flowing down that central part of the

stage, when women with brushes and buckets were

washing it; at times it was streaming down from above,

also on the women’s heads.’
