I actually hadn't thought about the miniseries as I didn't catch but the last 5 minutes of it, but I have recently reread it. It's the first story in the four story book by Stephen King: Four Past Midnight. It's not quite as simple as traveling in time, it's more like they ended up in space (in general, not outer) after time was finished with it. All the people were gone, living only in the present and not just past the present. The people who survived going through the "rip" in time were the only people they came across, all the "stuff" was there although it was losing its vitality until the final clean up by these balls that simply erased space in their wake. My comment simply was to compare the normal fgfs with the lifeless world the people in that story found themselves in. The presence of another "live" plane changed all that. I must admit to trying to crash into it though. I rolled onto the runway just as it landed, got a very close view. ;-) Jonathan -- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand binary and those who don't. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users
