Hi Larry,
That was when they made CARS! I recall those very well. My all time
favorite came out a bit later. It is (was) the Dodge Challenger (the same
year model as in the movie "Vanishing Point) A friend had one of those and
had the engine bored out for street racing. At 80 Mph I could "get on it"
and burn rubber! Eat your heart out "KITT" Doing 150+ mph on the highway
(he was driving at THAT time) was a "bit" scary!
I got all those "screws" lined up inside the Orion but now it does not
work quite as well. No matter - it looks much neater inside! :-) Just
kidding guys! Do NOT try this at home!
To get back even close to being "on topic" - - - I timed my Orion. Zero
to "ON" took 11 seconds. Oops! still thinking about cars! To rephrase: It
booted up in 11 seconds. Has the newness worn off yet? NO WAY! It is a
great rig and I continue to enjoy it as much as when I first got it out of
the box. Speaking of that - WHAT am I doing here when I could be over by
the Orion? What is I thinking? Good Night & 73, Bill
