Reinventing the wheel!

Then you missed the remake of the 50 foot woman - with Daryl Hanna!

I saw that listed at

and yes, I haven't seen it. I rarely go to a theater. Maybe three times in the last 20 years. I don't have any of the movie channels, or rent anything from a video store. If it doesn't show up in the bin at Dollar tree, I'll probably never see it.

A few years ago - when SWMBO was into making decorated T-shirts - I got her to make me one with that picture.

Inside of a week she'd sold about 20 of them - mostly to local cops!

I think the ones that inhabit this news group would be way too tough to eat no matter the recipe. :-) ...lew...

Well, nobody will ever accuse you of living beyond your means! :)

Didn't see the movie but did read "To Serve Man" Arthur C Clark. :-) Good. ...lew...

YUeah.

You want fries with that?

As long as I don't buy more than a few a month.

....It's a cookbook!!!....

Some decent Sci-Fi is availible for free from Baen Books:

I was thinking about feeding them to the poor, dumb animals, but realized it would be cannibalism. :(

I was happy to find Christopher Anvil's "Interstellar Patrol" series there.

I'd first encountered them in Analog in the 60's.

Enjoy. :)

I need to dig out the Sci-Fi trilogy I wrote 20 years ago and see if the disks are still readable.

I did - when I ran into them a year ago - and do when I re-read them.

Hopefully they won't be on 8" or 5.25" floppies...

3.5" Commodore 1581 format, written with Speedscript 128. I finally dug out a couple Commodore 128 computers from storage, one which has an internal 1581. :)

They all did. I got hold of one with a damaged case, and decided to do a little metal and plastic work on it. I was going to replace the damaged 1571 internal drive, then I ran across a 1581 with a bad case. I used a 5.25" to 3.5" conversion kit, and found room inside the case for the new PC board. I still haven't modified the existing controller to talk to the bare 1581 drive, but almost everything I need is already on the 128D motherboard.

Sad thing is that it will boot faster than a brand new quad core! At least to the command prompt.

I used to have a Commodore 128D with internal drive, but I think it was a

5-1/4" drive.

Culinaire makes "Safety Can", and Good Foods makes an "Orbi". I inherited the Culinaire, but got the Orbi at the Hardware store.
