With out a doubt it is summer, on Friday the temperature actually
reached 23 deg. C in Sheffield and before anyone says that that's not
hot this is the UK I'm talking about.

I think that the Teleport tread is doing fairly well.
and just one or two things that have been turning over in my head.
1: With regards to the BattleTech TCG that I'm just about to start
playing. I know this is OT but I'm curious and I don't know anyone else
that might know.
The Question is this am I right in thinking that With respect to the
BattleTech universe Humanity attained space flight in the 15th
century???
My reason behind my thoughts is this, in the intro to the BTTCG it says
<Quote>
For almost a thousand years, humans journeyed into the far reaches of
space, colonizing thousands of worlds and forming starspanning aliances.
From these grew the five vast star empires that make up the Inner
Sphere.
<snipped bit about Inner Sphere fighting>
From the 25th century onward, these walking tanks ruled the
battlefields.
</Quote>
this seems to say that the Inner Sphere emerged before or during the
25TH century at which time mankind had been in space for at least a
thousand years!
2: Back on Topic (well at least back on Shadowrun) could someone tell me
what the speed of sound is at sea level in SR speed. this one's because
I think I've designed a Motorbike that could excede it. I don't have
the stats here so you'll have to wait until after the Weekend until you
see them (assuming you want to that is )
:) Thanks for your endulgence.
