Thanks, Klem. Ooops, he HAD the Rotol CSP after all. My bad! LOL
I have no excuse, I have the softcover version of "Nine Lives" on my shelf. I first read that book in 1963. Spotted the hardcover version in the tiny church library one Sunday -- seemed a far more interesting read to a nine-year-old boy than the usual tomes a church library would stock. Couldn't put it down, reread it a thousand times (guess I didn't retain much, though.

). Back then I would've been flabbergasted with what a home PC and peripherals could do using a title like Cliffs of Dover forty-nine years later. Then again, so would the RAF! LOL
