Hi, Brenton.

BV> FM> [chomp descriptive stuff on The Beast]
BV> BV> effect too. When I come barreling down on someone driving in the
BV> BV> right hand lane they move over real quick :)
BV> FM> Best I had for that was my Rover 3500 at dusk or later. They had extra
BV> FM> quartz halogens below the front bumper, turn them on and *anyone* moved
BV> FM> quickly out of the right lane.

BV> Yep. I can believe that one.

BV> BTW, I dropped in this arvo at about 6pm but you hadn't made it home by
BV> then. You missed the Beast.

Yeah. Damn.

BV> I left a truckload of stuff for you which included a heap of old magazines
BV> from Dieter (he said to just burn them when you had finished reading them)
BV> and a scope which you can put out for the next rubbish collection.

Done!

BV> There was also something which looks like it may have been a train engine
BV> at
BV> some stage in it's life. Bob swore it was like that when you gave it to
BV> him.

Bob swears a lot. I try to ignore him while gently urging him towards a
more appropriate mode of expression.

BV> Oh. That blank floppy disk you loaned me was in there somewhere as well.
BV> At first I was surprised that a blank disk would have a label with
BV> someone claiming a copyright, but then I thought about it and I guess the
BV> formatting information could be considered a data pattern. The smart arse

Yes, that must be it... Did it work? Are you using it?

BV> could stand to make a fortune if he gets a good licensing agent. However,
BV> I was really impressed when I saw how easy it was to fold in half.
BV> I didn't know you could do that to 3.5" floppies.

That's what my girlfriend says.

Regards, FIM.
