While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?


I should have stayed awake for Geography class!!! Then maybe I wouldnt
have trusted this crappy GPS gadget so much. Thanks Ed and Rick. I
borrowed my friends GPS device, and it pinned me perfectly at 40deg51'12"N
and 74deg13'47"W which as I check the map is exactly where I am supposed
to be and perfectly in the Eastern Zone.
Ed, thanks for the Stevens tech info! (Un)Fortunately I graduated and am
now a statistic (an unemployed graduate) sitting around and waiting till
September when I shall return there to teach and then move to Cap Gemini Ernst and Young,
when this perilous economy finally allows them to let me start my job in
December.
Rick, I wish I was in Wyoming.....maybe someday!
Warm Regards,
Adi

P.S: I think this new geographical information and the time zone
correction should put me in good spirits with the GOTO god, but as soon as
the rain gods allow me I shall attempt to test this and return with an
update. Thanks everybody!
