Yeah, Al, grand, mysterious and sort of miraculous, too...flying those low
bidder jobs must have been like flying a new kidney. :-)

Not sure about wild, but crazy for sure. If God had
wanted Man to fly, he would have given us wings. To make matters worse,
I flew Navy for 9 years, in equipment built by the lowest bidder. Life
is grand. Mysterious, but grand.

- I know and I must be older since I had left Naval Air by the time the
Pueblo lost it's position in international waters. Think it was Ford
that didn't bomb the hell out of them wasn't it? Oh well, back to
writing Christmas carols.

- I agree. Terminology becomes trivialized pretty quickly. No doubt
you were in USN during the Pueblo crisis - I'm confident you're older'n
me ;-) I was at the time working at Collins Radio as an Industrial
Engineer. We built the electronics on board the Pueblo; the KG-22 signal
generator, and the NTDS (Navy Tactical Deployment System.) There
wasn't an engineer at Collins who was worried that the Koreans had
captured the equipment. We never could make it work, and we built
it. Howinell could the Koreans make it work? They never did. The
saddest part of that fiasco was that CDR Bucher was villified.

- Hey Bud,
- I know that software can crash and burn hardware. We had it in
our electronics in some of our aircraft in the Navy. But of course, my
puter isn't a government weapon. The term crash, as in crash my
hard drive, is probably misused. It could destroy all or part of the
data, rendering the entire computer useless, but that wouldn't
physically damage the hardware. A crash by any other name is still
in the mind of the user. ;-)
