Yes, but having someone point to the set saves me having to go through all
my sets looking at the first CD. I'll check my '96 set.

Do you mean you are worried the Hobbyist program will go away?

Taliban Regime ambassador on Pakistan has said that they
don't have any relation with this terrorist act.
He told too that Bin Laden it's not implied in the attack.
Yasir Arafat, in absolute shock state, has manifested its
condenation of the attack and its solidarity with the american people.
Hundreds of Palestinians are celebrating the attack in the streets
of the Occupied Territories in Palestina/Israel.
France are in National Emergency State.
Spain has reunited its basic crisis cabinet, compound by the
Security Minister, the Defense Minister and the Prime Minister
Cabinet Minister.
One political analyst here speaks about the impossible capacity
of any Medium Orient organization about organize one thing like
this.
I appoint, by my side, that this matter is equal to the end of the
movie "The Fight Club" of David Fincher. And has one strange
smell to anti-globalization, appoints another analyst.
That's what we know about the matter here in Spain.
All my condolences to all the victims, sincerely. Like we know
well in my country, ANY terrorism is ansolutely SHIT.
Regards
Sergio
Sridhar I believe worked in a financial capacity somewhere in Manhattan.
I hope I'm wrong. Has anyone heard from him or know if he's OK?
I realize it's probably impossible to get any sort of communications in or
out of that part of the city right now.

I'm confused (which happens often).
Isn't this one of the reasons we keep these old
machines running.
If I need to read a 10 sector N* disk, I setup
a Horizon with a laptop as the terminal. And then
using the N* monitor I load a group of blocks from
the disk into memory and then dump that memory to
the terminal with logging turned on. Dumping 32K
at a time, it takes several dumps before I have the
whole disk, but it's a whole lot easier then building
a special controller.
Just one lazy man's solution.

The plane that hit the Empire State Building was a B-25, which is smaller
than a B-24.

I do believe it is for the fire sprinkler system. But I'm sure someone else
