It was, however, a bumpy ride. Lots of colorful swearing on my part. I suspect at one point during the restoration procedure I did not properly ground myself when I inadvertently touched the motherboard. It caused a 3.5 hour restoration procedure to fail with only 6 minutes left to complete. I had to start from scratch again. Wasn't too happy about that. >:-0 Daniken does give me the impression that he is a skilled bullshit artist who knows how to sell books. Perhaps some of his ideas are interesting if not taken to extremes. On the other side of the fence there are debunkers like the late Philip Klass and James Randi. When it comes to the matter of UFO investigation these two individuals seem inept at actually following the principals of the deductive reasoning. On a related matter, I recall Randi, after attending what I believe was an APS conference held in Baltimore where Pons and Fleishman were interviewed, Randi gave a nudge, nudge, wink, wink to Carl Sagan who was also in attendance. Apparently Randy walked away convinced that the whole cold fusion matter was bullshit, just after listening to a few questions that had been directed at P&F from the audience. Randi didn't like the way P&F occasionally prefaced some of their replies with: "Well. that's a very good question." From Randi's POV that obviously meant these two chemists had to be incompetent because from Randi's POV they were incapable of answering the skeptic's questions. From Randi POV if they were constantly being reduced to prefacing their responses in such a manner it meant they didn't know what they were doing. From my POV, it's a classic case of how a magician perceives how most people act: from slight-of-hand, deflection & deceit. Case closed! Apparently, it didn't take Randi very much deductive reasoning to make up his mind on the CF matter. As purveyors who claim to follow the process of deductive reasoning, I think they give the process a black eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BemTGkjl6U Fascinating.
