Re: [MBZ] HPs New CEO
You should also remember that HP started out as an instrumentation/ analysis business, too. That part was split off into a separate company almost ten years ago (Agilent Technologies or something stupid like that) so the death of the rest of the company doesn't surprise me. The instrumentation/analytical stuff was the heart of HP. Fabulous quality, although not cheap, best stuff out there by far. All computer driven, but they sorta forgot all that in the haste to steal money out of the company, I guess. There is a reason why Fiorina lost her senatorial contest -- she is a very poor leader and a worse administrator! She destroyed two very highly reguarded companies for reasons she could never articulate (probably something she learned in Business School). Sad.

I have used the power train to revive another 124, but SWMBO now wants it off the driveway, since there is another 124 parts car on the horizon. So, i will be parting out a pristine blue interior from a well kept car with 90K that still has the MB factory warning decals on the doors, visors etc. (Car has been under a cover since it's been off the road there is no sun or water damage. Would much prefer to sell the entire interior (all vinyl parts) in one go, but if not, will consider selling individual seats etc. The sheet metal (doors, rear panels and front fenders are banged up; there is a pair of headlights, turn signals (yellow not clear) with the plastic windows in great shape as well. Not really interested in selling the interior electrical items and gages, which i plan to keep, still have 2 other 124s on the road. This is an opportunity to refresh a blue interior 124 sedan, i'm not looking to get rich off this and am offering it to this list, which from time to time has been extremely helpful with great advise, before considering ebay or other venues. Car is located outside of Trenton NJ and of course would much prefer pick up than having to mess with packing and (your) truckers.

Re: [MBZ] Yo Kleb -- how much for a bundt?
Did you ever figure out the size? Should be cast on inside if the spare, part of the code that tells the off-set. Regarding the caliper return, I'm half tempted to bring all my excess parts, new stuff that was wrong for one reason or another, and either set up a flee market table to see if I can recoup some fuel money or maybe trade it back to Rusty for credit on my next order. We are still planning the trip, well, maybe just me, SWMBO didn't seem too enthusiastic about it when I reminded her this a.m. I just returned from a short week in Italy, drove about 200 km in a Renault rental, diesel with 6 speed transmission. Fast enough, plenty of room, got 41 mpg in combined driving. Mostly I was in town, but made two trips between Naples and Gaeta. Once I figured out where the speed cameras were on the autostrada, I started keeping pace with the faster cars; let's just say I drove pretty fast but not as fast as some.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Natural Gas generators
One thing that makes the knife switch a big problem over a breaker or a transfer switch is that it is not load rated, meaning that it is not intended to be operated while under load. Doing so can damage and potentially destroy it. You would have to be sure that everything was turned off before operating it. That's one of the reasons why transfer switches are expensive - they are load rated for the amperage rating.

Re: [MBZ] HPs New CEO
I believe Scully did the right thing in firing Jobs. He was in the process of killing the company by meddling in the hardware, a subject upon which he has very strange and useless ideas (he wasn't the circuit guy, Wozniak was before his accident and serious brain injury). he was also pretty clueless about how to run a major company and was refusing to accomodate the business types required to do so. Running his own startups playing with the big boys (Disney, for instance) beat enough of the adolescent snottiness out of him to permit his to be CEO again -- without the failure of NEXT and the gross reduction in arrogance, he'd have killed Apple off. Remember that all the mess they were in a few years later was mostly his stuff, not stupid people making stupid decisions as he liked to characterize it. Remember, this was the guy the development team had to make a fake logic board for because he kept screwing with the component layout -- wasn't functional enough for him. The fact that the chips had to be physically connected seemed to escape him. When he came back, the company had built up an operating culture independent of him, particularly the hardware end, and had a new and highly effective design team in place.

Re: [MBZ] HPs New CEO
Well stated, Peter. I just finished listening to a biography of Jobs, and wasn't a bit surprised at how he screwed up NeXT and nearly trashed Pixar. When he realized that he had to leave some things to the people who knew their discipline best things improved significantly. I have a couple of friends who work at 1 Infinite Loop, and while they are definitely pro-Steve, they don't drink the Kool-Aid. They have spoken privately about some of the conflicts he created internally by micromanaging. In fairness, they are quick to point out his innate sense of drilling down to the simplest approach in many cases. Probably the best way this shows up is in their product documentation. For the most part, there is none, or a very minimal amount. Things should just work.

Apple products are good (I'm typing this on a MDD G4 dual, for instance, still in use with no trouble other than a flaky memory stick giving me fits), but there are times when I NEED to know things that Apple choses to withhold from their users (such as actual specifications). I really do like the it just works parts, I can't stand the I'll decide for you part! Now if they would just stop doing unnecessary fancy crap like ultrathin cases and stick with more standard stuff and bring the price down to a rational level, things would be great. I resent paying a whopping premium for generic hardware in a very expensive case. And using fans to cool things BEFORE they blister the MOBO would be a good idea, too.

Many of the low cost and low amperage transfer switches use exactly that type of interlock. Nothing more than some sheet metal as a toggle that prevents closing of both breakers simultaneously.

WITH PICTURES I've seen mechanical interlocks offered for sale ... Does anybody know if those mechanical interlocks are code legal? I think they are, but when we had our electrical service upgraded recently, I chose to get a purpose-made, manual transfer switch. I bought the Reliance Controls TWB2010DR from CSN Stores: http://www.csnstores.com/Reliance-Controls-TWB-4-8-Circuit-200Amp-Transfer-Panel-Link-for-Generator-up-to-25000-Watt-TWB2010DR-RLC1055.html We had a 60 A service and upgraded to a 200 A service. This panel replaced the 200 A outside disconnect my electrician was going to have to install, at a price not much more than the outside disconnect. I had done searching around the web, so when I saw CSN Stores, we will match any competitor, I went with them. The price I found searching was $361 plus shipping. CSN Stores sold it to me for $361 with free shipping. My electrician was pleased with the transfer switch and said it was well made. I sized it so it will take the full output of our Kato generator (whenever I get that hooked up to a prime mover). It will certainly take the 15 A output of our homemade, propane-fired generator set that has a Chevette engine as a prime mover.

Re: [MBZ] HPs New CEO
NeXT was a failure as a company but the software eventually became OSX (and the development tools became Xcode) so in that sense it was ultimately a success. Scully fired Jobs not because the products were a failure, but because he was interfering in the operations of the BUSINESS. NeXt failed for the same reasons -- operated by someone who sneered at and belittled the people who make business operate. Took him a long, long, time to figure out that people aren't going to drop half their take home income on a flaky product that barely operates (or doesn't, in the case of NeXt computers). Believe me, I used OS X 10.1, it sucked really bad. Once he got a couple corporate crashes under his belt, he finally figured out he was neither a software genius nor a hardware designer (you really do have to have the nuts and bolts theoretical background for those things, and he didn't finish college) things got better. We still have to suffer from his attachment to super thin and metal bodied portables and his weird notion that people only use computers for a few minutes at a time (and he hates fans), but at least he's not driving designers insane with irrational demands. He had a fabulous talent for figuring out new products when he's on a short leash to the board and some checks them out first, though. Will be a moot issue soon, as I don't expect him to live more than six months or so.
