        Well, except for quality and I've caught Baxter in a lot
of howlers, physics and otherwise. *How* far can you go in a millenium
of 1g acceleration?

        BTW, folks would better off dipping their heads in a bucket
of liquid N2 and battering them against a tree very very hard than
reading Baxter's _Titan_. It would not surprise me if reading that
book causes birth defects.
