Authors' (including Ursula LeGuin and Michael Moorcock) top 5 fantasy/real cities

SharedWorlds

Excerpt (Michael Moorcock):
"Old maps of Europe always showed Jerusalem as the centre of the world and symbolically, of course, this is understandable; but for me Marrakesh is the centre, where so many of the old trade routes met and where, still, Mercedes limousines, camels, donkeys and overloaded Peugeot trucks struggle to enter the narrow gates of a walled city which, rather more often than Casablanca, was where world leaders came to argue over the fates of millions. Marrakesh was where the balance of power between France and Morocco was held. It's where the Taureq, swathed in indigo and riding white camels, come in their haughty magnificence to trade with the Rif and the Bedouin, where privileged tourists lounge beside the pool at the Mamounia hotel, hardly aware of the long and bloody history which everywhere surrounds them."

Michael Moorcock needs big keys

Help A Guy Out: Help Michael Moorcock Keep Writing

Michael Moorcock is ailing a bit and he needs help. He'd be able to get
a lot more writing done right now if he had a wireless keyboard with
large keys that he could use with his PC. He's been looking around and
apparently there are no BIG KEYS keyboards that are wireless.

There are big key keyboards. And, as mentioned by a commenter, there are USB wireless adaptors and USB hubs that could be used for this. And dictation software (Dragon...) is pretty accurate now. Keep writing Mike!
