*reads specs* That's quite a new toy! I'm impressed. Long may it serve you well. \o/
Oh my. Captain Blood. I fell hard for the book over 40 years ago; it was my intro to the world of fictional swashbuckling and it opened such grand new vistas to my imagination. (And was therefore the perfect preparation for reading LoTR the next year, which - literally - changed the way I saw the world.) But I didn't see Captain-Blood-the-movie until at least 20 years later. It's great fun, even if I am not very fond of Flynn. For me, the absurdly out of period appearance is more than compensated for by Curtiz's sense of style and Korngold's wonderful score. And the ham is hilarious. *g*
ETA: YAY for Zen! As a fellow connoisseur I salute your good taste. ;) I couldn't live without my Zen Nomad.
