I said, on Saturday, March 25, 2000 6:29 AM: "I think 4004 first flight will be closer to the first week of May. It's just that the tasks remaining are relatively low risk. Of course, this is only a stepping stone to the critical milestone - first flight of the Block 3.0 software." Reading is fundamental! (Good thing I keep those mail messages, eh?) (I'll give this a half-tarver, although it's of course very repititious, just for describing a personal mail message as "advertisitng".) > The slip is far worse than 5 months Ken.

(Amended note from previous post) If you select the "print" function in your favorite software package, and you have no printer, only a crazy person (Q.E.D.) would complain about the software. On the other hand, it would take a total tarver to think that a paper copy was created anyway! You must save a lot of money on equipment, not having to buy any. Where do you insert the software disc? Wait, never mind, I don't think I want to know the answer to that... (A solid tarver, that one. Has all of the elements -- unattributed, easily refuted, and with that extra bit of loony pananche that separates it from the average mundane mistake. "system" should have been capitalized, perhaps, but maybe that's just gilding the lily.) > So there you have it folks, on the extreme off chance that nothing else goes > wrong between now and fiscal 2002 we might see a production F-22. From the > performance of the program thus far this is unlikely. Who are you talking to? (Oddly enough, a shift in progress. First, the tarver mantra was the end of fiscal 2000 or death. Then, it was a dispute between Congress and the Pentagon on the death date. Now, fiscal 2002? Could it possibly be that light is filtering in?)
