To be honest, we do have a few flux capcitors. I about fell over when I was an operator and saw that in a training manual. The only problem is that they don't glow blue ... unless they are about to blow up. I have to say that the thing I was most excited to see, but had the greatest letdown was the device we use to strip the proton from the neutron. I worked here for about 4 years before I was able to see it. It was in all my training manuals, and it an vital part of the accelorator here. And I finolly got to see it. But ... I won't let the secret out. nope ... not me.... ;) Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson dawson@xxxxxxxx (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/OSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
