I hope you're right and, from what I've read, we seem fairly certain of the physics involved but there's always accidents - and they usually result from a known risk that was deemed "acceptable". For example, the Concorde. And, as long as we're on aviation, the Space Shuttle. Or that MD-80 that went into the pacific - there's all kinds of triple redundant systems except on the mechanical thing that makes the plane go up and down. It failed and the plane went down. So it's not that I'm so fearful of scientific knowns, it's the bean counters that approve cutting corners that I'm afraid of. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=50 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:162471 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
