   Hi, (Continued)   
       
   PQ> On Sun, 30 Jun 13, you wrote to me:   
       
   PQ>PQ>>RN> Voyager 1 Approaches Interstellar Space   
       
   PQ>PQ>> It is always great to hear news of the Voyager craft, even the   
   PQ>PQ>> second time around. (Is this not a dupe from just the other   
   PQ>PQ>> day?)   
       
   PQ>RN> It read familiar to me, too.   
       
   PQ> It was exactly the same as your earlier copy, 'MSGID: 1:3828/7 a4064665'.   
   PQ> Maybe DeeBwidge misplaced it?   
       
   I can't find "a4064665" in my archives. However, I think what happened was   
   this: I have three hd's in this system. One is a backup drive (E:), one has   
   XP on it (C:) and the third has W7 (G:). D: and F: are CD-ROM and DVD   
   drives. In the gradual switchover from XP to W7, which uses a different email   
   client, I probably posted the same message from XP and W7, as I'm still in the   
   process of making the switch -- PITA that it is.   
       
   PQ>RN> I believe there is still some debate by the scientific community as to   
   PQ>RN> whether V'ger has actually left the Solar System.   
       
   PQ> To my simplistic way of thinking, they left the Solar System when they   
   PQ> traversed the Oort cloud. Anything since is just idle drooling by   
   PQ> propeller-head NASA geeks.   
       
   The scientists are going to get their answer soon enough, so I can wait, our   
   opinions notwithstanding. (-:   
       
   PQ>RN> I do recall an article about it from early December of last year.   
   PQ>RN> Would you like me to reprint it?   
       
   PQ> No thanks. Not required, as it's here still ('Voyager 1 Tastes   
   PQ> Interstellar Space'). I have posts dating back to December 2005   
   PQ> herewith.   
       
   Okay, but I'm still not sure whether V'ger is tasteing, approaching or has   
   left. (-:[   
       
   PQ> This sounds very much like 1940s-ish SF. (Quite similar to the hype   
   PQ> surrounding breaking the sound 'barrier'.) Send more, over...   
       
   I was a voracious reader back then and read anything that looked interesting,   
   from murder mysteries, WWII stuff and from Sci-Fi to Elementary Physics,   
   which, believe it or not, was easier for me to understand than Algebra 101.   
       
       
   Regards,   
       
   Roger
