Sequential reading should be pretty quick i think. |

Oh, my! It still amazes me that we got to the moon four decades ago with the computing and electronics technology that were employed. Boggles the mind.

Since the Chandrayaan moon probe took photos of all the Apollo sites recently, I guess that means the USA is even outsourcing its conspiracies to India these days!

If they went back to the moon with Bebooks instead of the above technology, NASA would have to spend millions of dollars developing a BPET (Bent Paperclip Emulation Tool) to reset it if it crashed.

Yeah, this amazing 'thing' was actually mentioned in another post - or thread, rather - about 6-9 months ago.
I'm still amazed. I remember the times I used to carry my Kaypro to the bookstore and got so many stares. (Of course, if I carried it with me now, I think I would get a lot more stares.) Don |

Your lack of faith darkens my heart!
Neil Armstrong knocked out a man for even suggesting such a deception! I believe they went to the Moon and so should you too! Or was it 'Buzz' Aldrin?.. After all, it provided mankind the first chance to play golf on another world! Last edited by AprilHare; 01-16-2009 at 06:26 PM. Reason: Introducing doubt |
