More News

OH WELL! I see the MER Spacestation has made the news again! This is

the last time that the Space Shuttle, Will dock with it. It seemS that

both the British and Americans feel that the Station is outdated and

obsolete, However the Russians are trying to maintain it as long as

Possible.

The main problem with MER, Appears to be the Computer system breaking

down! Well by my reckoning, The station has been in service for just

over 10 years, It took 2 years to construct, And possibly another

2 years development on the ground, That makes the Technology of MER

14 years old! So I can only presume that the computer's we are

talking about are, Either Commodore 64 or the Spectrum ZX. I suppose

We are all aware of the shortcomings of these machines, And I would

Assume that the TAPEDECK HEADS are now out of line! So if anyone out

there still has a working Tape deck for a C64, Why not get in touch

With Moscow, And offer your services!

13th June 98

The date of the Queens Birthday Honour's List, And

Still BUGGER ALL about me in it!
