So... were you someone's mother in another lifetime? ;-) There are already enough laws that try to protect stupid people from themselves, while putting a real damper on those of us who have brains enough to safely engage in "hazardous" activities. Relax! A number of years ago, they filmed part of the movie "Amerika" (which was apparently about the USA being taken over by Soviets or something; I've never seen it). They had a big sale at the end of the movie, held inside the former location of a big K-mart store. People went nuts buying all the clothes and props from the movie. That night, we drove by and noticed that there was a *bunch* of stuff in the dumpsters out back. Upon further investigation, the alley was found to be blocked off with a semi trailer parked across each end. As we were in a Fiat X-1/9 at the time, that wasn't a problem; we just drove under the truck. Found a bunch of electronic odds and ends (props from the "communication van" driven by the "resistance fighters", so I'm told). Popped the removable hard top off the Fiat and started lobbing stuff in. Also found a couple of cool little Northern Telecom telephone terminals; 9" mono screens with membrane telephone keypads in front and a handset on the side, and a miniature QWERTY chicklet keyboard in a little draw that pulls out from underneath, and serial ports on the back. About the time the car was getting full, the police arrived at the near end of the alley, probably summoned by the night watchman. Since they hadn't told us to stop or anything, we just hopped in the car, drove down the alley, under the semi trailer at the far end, and off down the street. Bet they're still scratching their heads over that one. :-) Bill Richman incolor.inetnebr.com/bill_r (Home of the COSMAC Elf microcomputer simulator!)
