We have two cats. Sisters, named Comet and Ajax. Very clean cats.

And whenever they get within just outside Jupiter's distance from any star as big as ours, they lose some of that water every day to stellar wind. In deep space, they exist as ice with nothing to "blow" any of it off, and may even gain mass.

The way you act, you probably did.

Even if a bit gritty? :)

BTW, the HP 5314A counter arrived yesterday. It was well packed, and arrived intact even though UPS smashed the end of the box.

It looks like all the switches are shot, and are NLA since they were made by HP. I am looking at making a sub board to hold a new set. I can find DPDT locking pushbuttons with 5 mm spacing between the rows, but the only 7 mm are all momentary. The originals are 23 mm tall, so a shorter switch should work. It'll take some time, but I can make it work so thanks again. :)

That joke doesn't make sense on this side of the pond.

Here Comet is an electrical retailer originally selling just white goods but now owned by DSG and trying to sell everything electronic.
