Hehe! Have you read the Feb. Anti Gravity column or was it just a typo?
Steve Mirsky's column is the first one I read, and he seldom fails to
make me laugh!

Was that the one about shattering baseball bats in college games?

You are wrong Oh PovBreath (bad Johnny Carson).

I know of at least one person in your 'friggin'' country
that is into 3D.

That would be you.

Nonetheless,
point taken.

I will be the first to start a "Let's get TonyB some
friggin' 3D mags" group."

Probably this will not get to far but at least you
will know that someone cares.

I'm half way thru this article.
I remember SA as being a
little better written in the past
than now.
Maybe it is just me.
Also it seems 'flashier' in general,
but so is all media these days.

Still interesting and I personally
was surprised with it's emphasis
on human skin.
I did not really think of this as an
issue, yet

    I am settled but about 1991 it was ready to go
under. It then started to add a human interest angle
and has never been the same since. IOW: I canceled and
have rarely bothered with its "popular science" angle
since then.

    Also unless bait is a modifier as to the type of
flame that should be one word.
