Bother us.  Our biggest problem is quiet.

You could read through the new Website at Dave system and tell me which
parts are clear, cloudy, interesting, yawnish.  If you can figure out why
the map links on my nice table of content graphics on the development site
don't work I'ld appreciate it.

If you want to take a crack at progrmaing an active table to computing
relatavistic fuel ratios for ships, or microwave power needed for a sail
ship, that would help too.  (I'm trying to recruit someone whos trying to
do numeric analysis, and we could use some numbers.)  (Don't worry none of
us are comfortable with all these equations.)

Or just nose around looking for other web sites, newsgroups, etc with info
on starships, space, fusion energy or something.  If its good we can add it
or refference it.  (I've done a few scans, but the term starship buries you
under tons of startrek stuff!
