Many years ago when I was a drafter, I would go over to the engineer's area and go through the trash to find data books that I didn't already have. I lugged those books around for far too long, though I kept a couple for entertainment. The problem now with is that there are far too many choices. It's way faster to find what you need, but much longer to decide which one. I like the good ol days when you had to live with what you couldn't have. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
