AP - Discovery Commander Eileen Collins said from orbit Friday that she
was surprised to learn a large piece of foam broke from the shuttle's
external tank despite years of work to prevent such shedding in the wake

Thanks - that explains the advantage very clearly.
I'll try Thunderbird for a while,

even if I don't get a full description (which I would quite like).
