I edited the post so anyone reading Gordon's comment now will wonder what the heck he is talking about. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to find errors in the stuff you've written because you tend to read what you meant to write instead of what you actually wrote. Of course some things are so obvious you wonder how they ever made it into print. Just yesterday I read the following two sentences on page 3 of the Fall 2007 Mountain Gear catalog:<BR/><BR/>"The 1100 cubic inch Astro fits a laptop to 15.4 inches, and the Elroy fits a 17-inch with 1500 cubic inches of storage. (Can shorten this last sentence if not enough space.)"<BR/><BR/>On page 45 of the same catalog the Mountain Gear folks list the Black Diamond Winter Bivy ("small enough to fit into a jacket pocket") as weighing 9 lb. 8 oz.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the Black Diamond folks are making their bivy out of spun lead or maybe, just maybe, the Mountain Gear people should've run their catalog past an editor.Kent Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607372827627527450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-16473562471638486292007-09-12T21:00:00.000-07:002007-09-12T21:00:00.000-07:00That sounds like a great ride, having it occur two...That sounds like a great ride, having it occur two years in the future is quite an accomplishment!Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306073865036971583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-9818090324950971302007-09-12T13:06:00.000-07:002007-09-12T13:06:00.000-07:00cool use of spreadsheets...
