Simply reading these words about an emergency power system that we have not seen or worked with does not sufficiently describe the importance of this type of system; but putting oneself in the position of being in the emergency room of a hospital having a severed artery sewn closed when a tornado destroys the electrical utility overhead pole-type distribution system and the room turns to blackness begins to add clarity.
Indeed it does, friend. Indeed it does.

Remember the SF book that had a chapter written from the point of view of a missle? (Sorry, I can't remember the name of the book, but you showed it to me.) Also, the missle took about three pages to find its target. Pretty slow missle.

That's really quite beautiful, in its way. There's a certain photocopied poetry chap book quality about it... Work at it, long enough, and it does make sense...

Shara: yes, yes I do. In fact I thought about that as I was writing this, but I figure I've beaten up David Weber enough over the years.

Yeah, that was our reaction, too. :-)
