    Unless you create another basket, with no holes. There are other options should we choose to actually investigate them. I would agree with that as of today, you're statement is dead on.

        I can still remember watching the first step on the moon on a small TV in our kitchen with the family gathered around. (It's one of the earliest memories I have that I can pinpoint the exact time and place.)

          Don't worry, I've created the entire Rocket Automation system using SilverLight, WCF and WF ... I'm sure it will be fine. Hey ... do you smell smoke? :-\

                I can remember exactly where I was when I watched the first moon landing. In Aus it happened about midday, I watched it on one of the TVs that had been set up in the lecture theatre of the research labs where I was working. I sat next to a female colleague whom I'd seen around but didn't know, we had lunch in the canteen, I asked if she seen the movie Z, she hadn't so we went to see it a few days later, then we ... Bitter sweet memories of inspirational times.

                  MY baskets don't HAVE holes, they have strings and are multi-dimensional. My evil twin told me so, I'd introduce you, but he had to return to his dimension. Something about a dead-line ... apparently, neither one of us can escape that reality.

                    We were on vacation the week before so during the tour saw Apollo 11 on the pad. Since we were home by the launch we then went to my grandmothers house to watch the lunar landing on a COLOR TV. (Color TV was special in 1969)
