I had to replace a bad booster on my '79 300TD. There's a bit of a trick I used to get the nut installed under the dash. I'd be happy to share if anyone needs help on that. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Jim Cathey via Mercede

I did a garage (flat) roof with torch-applied stuff many years back. It's IMO a better and easier method than hot tar & felt. I'm sure the materials are more expensive. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Rick Knoble via Mercedes S

I started with computers in '76 using a TTY keyboard to access gummint computers. Later, running CPM, I was able to see the evolution using some of the TTY codes for editing etc. For some reason I was never able to get interested in the games. I was too hooked on the productivity aspects of com

As I hope you are aware, it is not possible in a scientific experiment to confirm the null hypothesis. So the conclusion is unwarranted. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 20

In a few days your brain will figure out how to alter your perception so the image will no longer look distorted. If you wore prisms that made everything look upside down, after a while you would see things right-side-up again. The brain is an amazing tool. Greg BA Psych OTOH, I know quite a
