George Martin wrote all his books on the old computer under DOS

And is not distracted by internet

George Martin suggested that at least one reason why the end of his saga "A Song of Ice and Fire" takes so much time - except that he has to give too many interviews - in a recent interview with Conan O'Brien.

Namely, the author of "Game of Thrones" revealed that he vytёsyvaet their work as the ancients did: on the rusty pan computer a DOS editor Wordstar 4.0 - software that is forged in blood and iron in the dark in 1987. Its monochrome text display is clean and Oster as valiriyskaya steel, his way of storage - the floppy, and hanging like penises, which Martin wrote.





Reasons for Martin clings to equipment and word processors of the older generation are diverse. For example, he does not trust the spell spelling and Auto Correct - a reasonable fear, given that the real will happen in Word Red Wedding spell checking whenever you print, for example, "Petyr Baelish" and "Valar Morgulis».

And, as the eunuch Varys, who believes that passion hinder the achievement of more important goals, DOS-PC Martin relieves craving for internet and other whores, allowing Martin to concentrate on writing his own writing porn.
