Ärende: Re: BBS and Win 10
==========================
Extra tid-bit here..


RN> Last month there was a most interesting article that described RN>
lightning travelling upward from a cloud.  That was a new one on me.

 HG> That of course is possible but lightning between clouds is common here.

Not mentioned in my comments here and there that 29 times I've been personally
involved in close lightning strikes is a bit more than posted above!  Of my so
called out 29 such events, six times my airplane was hit directly!  I started
learning to fly airplanes in 1958 here when I graduated from high school and
started my eight years it took me to pay my way through to my first degree here
at A&M.  Which a few years after this started, I wound up as the Chief Flight
Instructor at Easterwood Airport!   I rode with over 1500 Aggies that flew in
VietNam, as well as did a huge number of Part 135 charter flights for my
employer, Texas Airmotive Company, at the time.

I knew a bit more about lightning strikes and such from a lot more than most
pilots know, chuckle.  Including that a lot of thunderstorms that grow up as
the big bubble up clouds, can actually pop up from very level flat top solid
clouds near the earth in some kinds of fronts.  In the early 1970's before I
quit flying planes, I was flying my employer's Beech Baron twin from up in
Pennsylvania back to Texas through a massive frontal storm issue one day.  Yes,
on an Instrument Flight Plan.  But my Baron didn't have any radar system on it.
 The top of the 'level' cloud mass was only about 8000 feet high.  So I asked
the FAA controller if I could remain on IFR but climb out on top of it in VFR
weather so I could see the thunderstorm growth spots and wobble out around them
VFR to keep from getting whopped.  Sure that was fine with them.  As well I had
a very smart and important person that I was having to fly back to Texas that
day so he could testify on 'our' behalf in Federal Court in Houston.  He had
little experience in flights.

Hmmm.  He was elated when we popped up VFR on top that day.  And was very
surprised to see all the little actual not so high up topside thunderstorm
clouds!  I had seen it all many times before and done a lot of personal
experimentation on this.  So I showed him a trick I had learned!  As we would
get from one 'bulb' miles away from another of these growing storms, what I
would do is then nudge our Beech Baron closer and closer to the EDGE of the
growing up cloud!  Then, at first with this passenger screaming at me when I
started this, I'd GENTLY touch us to the very outside edge of the swirling up
cloud!  POOF BOOM!  From the disturbance to the growing cloud but *NOT* to us
in the airplane, I would TRIGGER A LIGHTNING STRIKE IN THE CLOUD!  Over an over
I did this when we had gotten most of the way back to Texas that day to just
the right place in the front to do this!

My passenger was STUNNED at this!  He said, just as I had learned years earlier
abou this, that this was just exactly the way one of the old ball game deals
you played with those game deals on the floor of a bar of a gambling place did!
 If your ball hit just the right place on the sort of storm like mini light
bulb deal, it would flash it into a light blink!

We did that MANY, MANY times before we got back to Easterwood Field home here
in College Station,  When he went away from me he told me he would NEVER forget
that day.  And later did a WONDERFUL job testifying for my boss and company in
Federal Court in Houston,  Grin!

And about the below:

 HG> IBM laptops are nowadays made and sold under the name Lenovo. 

RN> Chinese, isn't it?

 HG> Correct but under quality control of IBM.

RN> I never saw them that small.  The ones I have are in the 4-8GB RN> range.

 HG> Same here, the ones I have now are 4-16 Gb.

 HG> Have a nice afternoon,

 HG> Holger

Well depending on what you might know about the whole computer technology issue
and all the world dis and dat.  Including the history of IBM and China and a
lot more.  Although it supposedly was to be 'under the quality control of IBM',
as the years and years have gone by and even more than the IBM desktop computer
systems were also farmed out for 'manufacture' in this or that 'place'...   One
wonders if anyone actually really knows at all if even IBM had any quality
control of any of this?  Or. multiples in what is now possible being revealed
by dis and dat.  What is really going on for all us 'humans' in life as we know
it ------ dimentionally?
