Thanx Bernd, Sounds like a Sikhote Alin strewnfield with lots of small craters.
I'm always amazed at those who speak/read/write more than one language. I can barely handle english by itself. Living here in Reading, PA we have a large population of hipsanic folks, and on more than one occasion I've worked with a secretary who could sit there typing 60 words a minute in english while talking on the phone at about 90 words a minute in spanish. Now that is impressive. Regards, Language challenged John -------------- Original message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -------------- > John D. wrote: > > > 100 craters???...is that number correct?
