Yeah, but the imagery is so much more rich, J! While I agree that UAV
operations are neat and the wave of the future, somehow the concept of a
bunch of over-aged video game guys lounging on La-Z-Boys in a rear area
doesn't conjure up the mental picture of "warriors". And you are/were a
warrior. I and my Amigas (500, 600, 1000, 2000, 3000, 3000T) kneel
before you!
I now wander off into the midsts of filesystem design...and expect to
find dragons there...
