Love these little blurbs . . .

As a diehard Mac fan, I couldn't resist.   Thanks for reviewing and reading.  

I have changed this short to mention that the bombing of Redmond idea is very loosely based on a small segment from a book based on the Val Kilmer movie, "Red Planet."   The bombing did not occur in the movie, but Peter Telep wrote a book of the same title released at the time of the movie.   A similar idea was broached in the book.

Cheers!
