ron, you need to get out more!

unfortunately i'd have to admit to having similar fun this week, 
but on a different scale:
3000# toyota vs. 76000# flatbed semi. it would have 
been a bit better with an ibm rs/6000 590 mounted on the grill.

i am accepting donations of better hardware. ;-)

| (approx weight 25 lbs) and do a competition: if the L440GX+ was dropped on
| the rail, or the rail was dropped on the l440GX+, who won? Also, of
| course, angle of entry of the rail could be investigated, as could drop
| height, ... the possibilities were endless.

| Ah, the L440GX+ ... may it burn in pennsauken.
