No but they do have the grapple, so that they could fit together
sorta like legos. It kinda makes sense other than the grapple is
targeted by the puter. I suspect that it could be done manually. If
the producers of B5 ever release a set of Tech Diagrams like the

I think its more a case of no spacial references in space. basicly
up is where your head is pointing. But i suspect they just flipped
around though the grappling did bring up for me is could they somehow
link the weopons systems together so you could use one or several
furies as a pulse generator for the lead ship.

Your point is well taken, however, we are not a literary group. To be associated
with a library implies we are all reader-fen. We're not (Though I personally
am). The point, as I set it forth, was to be strictly a social gathering of fans
of s/f and related s/f genre's.
In terms of a restaurant putting off some people, I agree, that is probably
true. But noone is required to eat, the place we usually meet has no minimum.

Although this cycles back and forth. In the modern day, Bill George
(who as a field tech for Motorola hears all kinds of interesting
things) reports news of work on "hard drives" consisting entirely of
arrays of static RAM chips - megabyte upon megabyte of them. Just
picture a few hundreds of Mbs of these things, all as fast as the
RAM on your motherboard, and all saving their data so that you can
just flip a switch off, and then back on and resume wherever you
left off.

More than welcome, Gloria. I thought the final episode was kind of neat,
but the ending with Devon's being placed in the coldsleep chamber, kind of left
me numb...especially given that I'd already heard the word that EARTH2 was a
cancelled series.

Chris, this is a comment that can be taken with a grain of salt, I think.
JMS has said in quite a few forums that the plan to change Delenn's character to
the half-human, without the prosthetic make-up, has existed since Day 1 of the
series. (The fact that she was originally meant to be male and then become
female is something else entirely.)
While it's possible that Mira may have started experiencing problems with
the make-up, I would like to hear that from her. Perhaps one of the folks going
to Toronto's Trek Fest can ask her about this, and confirm it for us.

The good news is in folks! John Copeland made the announcement on the
nets on June 6th, but it was confirmed by J. Michael Straczynski on June 9th
over on the various nets. BABYLON 5 has been renewed for a third season!! If
Nicolai permits, I can even post JMS's announcement here on the echo.

For one thing, TV Guide's ranking of the top 120 shows is one that is
based more firmly in the Network-oriented shows than the non-Network stuff.
While ST: TNG and some of the spin-offs may show up in the rankings, I wouldn't
be worried about B5 not showing up in the rankings. The figures that JMS has
provided in various posts on CIS and GEnie over the last few years have been
pretty good, and are stuff that come in direct to the PTEN and Babylonian
Productions offices.
