For C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian fans. If you had to go back in time to say, 1805 and serve in the Royal Navy and had your choice, would you like to be an officer under Capt. Pellew on the HMS Indefatigable or under Capt. Jack Aubrey on the HMS Surprise? BTW, Just got the DVD of "Master and Commander" really great. Lots of extras. Leaves me wanting more Hornblower and Aubrey. -- Gordon -- ,,, (. .) +-------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------+ | Gordon Talge WB6YKK e-mail: gtalge AT pe DOT net | | Department of Mathematics http://www.nlmusd.k12.ca.us | | Norwalk High School Norwalk, CA | | (o- Debian / GNU / Linux | | //\ The Choice of the GNU Generation | | v_/_ .oooO | | - E Aho Laula - ( ) Oooo. - Wider is Better - | +-------------------------\ (---( )-------------------------+ \_) ) / (_/
