Thanks bunches, trag, that one's on my to be read pile! Ya think maybe I can get my money back from Border's bankruptcy filing? :
I think Protector is my Niven fave.
I would have used the replacement copy of Lucifer's Hammer next to it, but it was too skinny and the original with the rubber banding is too thick . . . :-/
IMHO, the madman of Chaos Manor is, by a fer' piece, the better half . . .
Dr. Dan is my all time science fictional hero, slightly above Lazarus Long and Dominick Flandry . . . though . . . Lady Harrington now! =8-b . . . . . . . .
edit: because of intolerable levels of curiosity, numerous productive bouts with hypo-mania and the ability to maintain a "brain full of incredible amounts of disjointed and useless information" according to my best friend ever and much loved ex, I have no reason to fear the government's taking away of my right to buy/bear firearms! Dr. Dan and Abbie Hoffman were inspiration enough . . . along with growing up on a farm where stumps didn't stand a chance against the Barn's ChemLab! [

. . . speaking of the farm. :I
< swerves back on topic >
Meanwhile, back on the Pickle Plantation:
I couldn't get the alignment to work out perfectly w/o digging out a tripod or relocating a very neatly categorized and considerably tall pile of Hackin'Crud off the copystand to show it clearly enough, soooo . . .
In my impenetrable .TXT:
A Zip is about 7mm wider than than a Floppy. So 3.5mm is required for a bare minimum of side to side offset. Add a bit more wiggle room than that, yielding enough slop factor for an unauthorized field modification placing a larger diameter gun tube on this particular data fighting vehicle's firing port to function and you'll find you're choking the A/B's carb by a bit more than 4mm without swappin' out that hardened steel gun mantlet.
So, no joy on the "easy" internal SCSI Drive install route . . . so my way is the high (over the top) way! :approve:
