So I requested that they order them, and they finally came in today.
If I were you I would call every library, at least in Utah and request them to put them on their shelves, because most libraries will order books if somebody requests them. At least you'll be able to sell a few more books. And a few more people will be able to enjoy them
What you posted sounds interesting but I have a couple questions...
I went to their site and looked it over; kind of intriguing. I may have a use for something like this.
You said you customize it just like your home pc and then plug it in to any pc and it works the same.
Where does the OS reside; on the USB flash drive or the host PC?
Presumably it's on the host PC, which would mean you'd need to find a host that at minimum used the same OS as your PC, correct?
When you use this set up does it load any files onto the host computer, or does it run autonomously?
Many of the apps look to be Linux (which is fine, and somewhat expected). What is your host OS, Linux?
I worked for Dyncorp after i got out of the Air Force. I worked post dock.
Thanks

How did it do flight wise in Vietnam? With the heat and humidity the density altitude had to be horrid all the time.
How did you keep the rear engine cool and the front engine's rear cylinder temps in the green? Oils then were no where near as good did the motors last to 1,000 hours?
I would think the jungle humidity caused a lot of carb ice problems, No?
Was the gas burned then 130 octane?
Was the climb rate anywhere near the 1,100 FPM claimed in Nam?
Don't know. Mc Elfish chute out of Dallas had new para commanders in the 80's.
Had to quit then, my older brother's accelerated school of attempted fraping Dennis was never ending.
I really miss it but won't jump borrowed gear.
Speaking student status & borrowed para commanders packed to snivel... that & they tried to keep me from deploying above 2000' AGL with no D- class.
My chest mounted reserve barometer sensor was messed with so no auto deploy.
Two broken noses dwelled out, I got about a two second canopy ride after pumping the front risers to get air in it. It was a streamer.
As this went on I was out doing my brother & his senior minions at 4 man RW with three of my friends.
He tied a knot in my steering line and followed me under canopy yelling Cut Away!
After a long walk I found the lead seal cut on my reserve.
I was about to write a book but was told I would be sued.
"the above stuff is nothing"
never been in combat but dodged a few

Thank you for your service Sir.
She is giving it to her favorite nephew who spent 20 years flying navigator on the "I can't say" missions over "there", he just retired from the AF saying zero about nuttin "I don't know".
I am reading MIKE FIVE EIGHT now. She will get it next and pass it along to finally get to the local library and be read by school students.
Thank you for your service, it is appreciated and awe inspiring. Double that sentiment for your ability to put thoughts into words. I would love to see a collaboration of thoughts by you and DON MCMANMUS in book form your unique writing styles and abilities are amazing.
I don't mind having them passed around. I make less than a Happy Meal of income from them, so lack of sales isn't important.
What's important is that they be read, doubly so by veterans, and trebly so by Vietnam vets. They seem to help banish the demons, as they did for me to write them.
Again, thank you.
