Sorry, yes, the Wheel of Time . . . I think I've re-read the series . . .well too many times to count!
One of my ALL TIME favourites. I think I was getting mixed up with the Circle of Ourobouros.

One more thing.. Installing Firefox 3.5 does not remove any older versions. You must uninstall Firefox 3.0.1( or whatever your old version is) or your system will revert to the old version the first time you restart.
3.5 is so much faster than 3.0.1 that the reversion will be obvious.
