"The Scientologists and Davidians will be crawling all over it"

We, the Slashdot crowd, should help them to get there. I propose putting them all in a big luxury ship - i.e. the QE2 -,attaching several huge rocket boosters to the hull, adding an appropriate landing gear (a big cushion glued to the keel would be more than enough)and sending them there. Free of charge!

The Scientologists would love the idea, 'cause all they now about spaceships is what they read in their founder's books. Don't know about the Davidians, though.

Rejoice!

On: Retrieving Data From Old Amstrad Floppies?

I'm no expert in Amstrad machines, but if you can find one of them in working order, I guess you could just use a serial cable and two small communications programs, written in Basic. I did that 20 years ago, in order to recover the data from an ancient 'typesetting' machine to a PC. Good luck
