Since we are off topic, read the Bill of Rights and the Constitution
sometime if you want an idea of just how many of your rights (re:
freedom) have been usurped in your 'best interest' by our omnipresent
Federal Government. This spy satellite pales in comparison to the
invasion of personal liberty that has been either legislated by
Congress or in the case of our Constitutional Rights bent in
interpretation by the Supreme Court under the guise of a 'living
breathing Constitution.' Bullshit. The Constitution doesn't need
interpretation, it is written very clearly and has been raped.

Sure! One out of hundreds of Space Shuttle flights. 1 out of, how many
was that, 4 Apollo flights. A couple recently out of hundreds in the past
several years. Its the payload of the first that exploded that's very
curious to me: a high-tech spy satellite capable of listening on on
thousands of phone calls and other communications, costing how many
billions? You'd think they would be REALLY, REALLY careful with a toy
like that.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I at least like to HOPE that someone
out there cares enough about freedom that they had a hose accidentally
snipped or something, know what I mean?

Give me a break! Rockets explode all of the time. Plus, I would guess
some of the parts they are using are old. I have the feeling cracked
seals could once again be the problem. Also, rockets don't rely on
computer controls. These are 20-year old technology. It's unlikely
they have anything more than a bunch of servos like in a model car.

Hmm, this looks like a job for agent Fox Mulder . . .
But a Minuteman has to perform targeting operations, and thrust
control, because it had to hit something. An orbital launch system
should (I know little about this) be simpler. I'm sure there are
seals of some sort in every rocket. Just that we only hear about them
>from the Challenger incident. And all seals can crack. But if this
was a maiden flight of a new vehicle none of this is necessary. New
technology is naturally less reliable than old, perfected technology.

B0y are you wrong. rocket/missle technology was using computer hardware
as early as the late 50s. I know the first hardware I could actually hack
was from a minutman missle a rather strange serial word/math disk based
machine that wasn't fast but apparently enough to do the job.

Need to get rid of quick -
*Complete case, power supply, planar board, processor board w/512k RAM,
I/O board, MFM floppy/hard drive controller, MDA video board, drive
bays, filler plate. Add a floppy and hard drive and it's back in
business again running a 286-12 processor. Also includes an additional
memory board that uses 30 pin simms, without any simms on it. $10 plus
shipping. Weighs 20-25 lbs
Also, w ith the above I will throw in for the cost of shipping-
*Another complete case but NO power supply, planar board, 1 processor
board w/512k RAM, 2 I/O boards.
I won't post these as freebies to anyone else until I find out if the
person that wants the complete unit wants them thrown in or not.
Email me direct. First come first served.

If I had any influence with people at Mentec, I would... but I'm just as
