As you strike out on this project, I think you might find it instructive to review Robert X. Cringley's excellent documentary "Plane Crazy." This should, I think, be required viewing for anyone about to undertake a project such as yours. And no, in case you're curious, I don't get royalties on additional copies sold. But when you go buy yours, tell him I sent you. Ben "doe snot" Sego +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Last I knew... Robert Cringley was a self promoting huckster and flake. Actually, I rather like his "I, Cringley" column. That he was a flake in his plane building adventure, is, I think, without dispute. Can't argue with "self promoting" either; you're dead on there. I don't, though, think he's a huckster. Zoom would probably give him three thumbs up... if Robert was a paying advertiser in AeroSnooze. Yeah, that seems to be the magic to achieving an endorsement, doesn't it. But let me say this: Cringley is a much, much better journalist than other unmentionables shall ever be. He opens his columns up for debate, he offers corrections, and freely admits it when the readers call him a boob. That doesn't make him great, and it doesn't guarantee he's honest, but it greatly increases the likelihood. And it's not the sort of behaviour you're likely to see out of his eminence anytime soon.
