Has anybody been to a Dave & Busters's? I don't think it is really just the modern arcade that it is portrayed to be. I think there are observers somewhere, presumably wearing white lab coats, watching and gathering data on what type of people play what types of games and drawing conclusions about society and their voting or spending tendencies. This occurred to me one time as I was inserting my player card, for the fourth consecutive time, into some sniper simulation game... Mark McCoy

We've got at least one other Psycho-ologist, physicians, cops, a poet, college professors, mechanics, a Reverend and lots of computer pros. However, no lawyers I'm aware of. Bogdan

Tom, My favorite moto-journalist is Bob Higdon (sp?) of BMWRA. He's a lawyer, from Washington D.C. yet, and one of the things I miss from the Beemer world. Bogdan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

This one, from an old bag-type cell phone, has an output of 12 VDC at 600ma or 6/10ths of an amp. This is in the trickle-charger range. It's output connector is the male half of the cigarette lighter plug. If I connect a female cigarette lighter socket to the two, unused "city light" leads in the fairing and plug the above charger into this socket (I think the key would have to be on) can I charge the battery? I seem to recall that for a charger to work it had to put out at least 13VDC. I haven't actually checked the exact output of the charger. >> That type of small transformer works just fine for trickle charging but I would hook it up directly to the battery for best results.
