My favorite part of Fry's is the grocery isle, having lived in Minnesota for a little while (bay area native) the part I found most bizarre was probably... well wait, I lived in a dorm, I didn't see much of Minnesota... I remember the cold, and the flat, ahhh I remember, it was the trees I found most bizarre. All of the trees were so small.
I saw the same information in the SV life section of the SJ Mercury news yesterday, I considered sending a note to Rob about it, but figured it'd already been mentioned here, and I'd just missed it.... guess I was wrong
Goodness, what I remember about the books is that it's the Kevin J. Anderson trilogy that talks about Kessel. He describes the area as being near a blackhole cluster or some such thing. It has been quite a while since I've read the books though. My complaint is still that being able to fly it in a short distance is a measure of the pilot, not the ship.
I seem to remember it being called a J-key or something, I think the origonal design used the j key as the little nib instead of having a seperate little red (or whatever color) thing inbetween the keys.
