After running across these on lspace.org I've always wondered if you knew about them and had a responce... ---------------- The Little Library... a bookshop which sold pornographic magazines, and science fiction magazines. I went in there every day after school and came out with my satchel bulging.

... most SF writers are small blokes; they spent a lot of time grubbing around on the floor for old SF mags, not stretching up to the top shelf for pornography... As an aside Douglas Adams is quite tall...
The book your thinking of is Road Marks ( very fun ). I would consider it SF but it does wander into the fantasy side of things a bit. ( a few scenes involving magic use ).
As a system builder and possessor of a Microsoft OEM liscence (Don't like 'em , never have, but thats what people wanted...) I've done over 100 win95 installs ( 950, 950b and 950c ). Sure it's easy to install if win95 doesn't get flaky. If it gets flaky ( about 1 in 10 installs i would estimate, and this is on hardware that is fine, i don't count problems related to hardware thats flaked ) it is a complete pain to get it straightened out. And that doesn't include problems related to somewhat non-standard configurations. ( disable primary ide inter. boot from a adaptec 2940, and hang the cdrom off of the secondary ide inter., 95 really doesn't like that one) The only install problems i've ever had with linux were due too bad hardware. That includes the first install from diskette, using the SLS distro. ( even got X working in 4 mb )
( scary thought, doing an oem install, it takes longer to install ie than it does the rest of win95 )
Every thing that you need to know about missles can be found in publicly availible forums ( libaries and textbooks...) About the only thing you can't easily find about fusion/fission devices in the same way are the high yield designs. The information IS out there, it's the materials that are hard to find.
