Yep. I'm going to Pensacola for a week of training in National Instruments' LabView. For those programmers out there it is a *graphical* programming language. I'm not a big fan of it, but it pays the bills. Wonko the Sane wrote: computer engineering On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 9:31 PM,

The beach is very nice there, so if possible spend the money and get a room as close as possible to the water. If you are on a budget, there used to be (in 1981) lots of cheaper places close to the Naval Air Station. On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 9:41 AM, John Robbins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm

There was a place on Orange beach, which is technically Alabama that was reasonable, and well situated near a beach park, and block or so away from a nice seafood restaurant. It was operated by Brett Robinson Real estate. Call them and ask about their hotel on the beach. It was really a 1

When you do, find the USCG part with the HU-16E and the HH-3F. My butt has been in both of these very same airframes they have there (up in the air, not as part of the static display). I sat in the H3 when we visited the museum and started to cry -- Debbie didn't understand but I explained
