It is possible that it will hit the $200 but I don't think that the world economy will handle it without a major recession which will cause the price to normalise.

It has developed a special seismometer and a digitizer to record microevents down to -2R!. The obtained resolution is impressive. It even uses Kohonen Neural nets to get lithology: www.landtechsa.com There is a company which the last 5 years uses microearthquakes as seismic sources to obtain 3D tomographic pictures of a region for hydrocarbon exploration on acommercial basis.

I have my booking and it is SQ all the way to Jakarta, then Garuda (you can't have everything). You will remember that I told you that Apache are easy to work with. They care about finding oil, not about statistics. Your rolled vibe is quite nice too. Same old thing, three point turns on a slope with a buggy vibe, they never seem to learn. Things are better now.

My guess is that there has been a bit of a reshuffle in the Cairo office and things got a bit mixed up. Actually I would like to go back there, they have a much more practical and realistic approach to the job than is seen on most crews these days. The bottom line is the crew is there to acquire Seismic data. Everything else is secondary. And coudn't be in place at all if the Seismic wasn't being done. Your rolled vib is more impressive than mine, but if you want a look: http://www.seismatters.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=20&pos=12 How's that for a completely disjointed and off subject reply. Now why would I be tempted to make a smart reply?

They originally had me travelling from Bangkok only and when I reminded them that I was based in Indonesia they just added a Thai Airways flight from Jakarta to Bangkok. Comments were made on arrival and it will be SIA or Emirates on the way home. I did think about you on the flight, why did you get the royal treatment and myself and Wayne got dumped in the gutter, as it was? Any smart replies to this question will be treated with the contempt they deserve. Somebody fouled up my booking.

Why didn't you go SIA from Changi? One of the best airlines in the world and direct to Cairo. It was your own silly fault!!

If the soldiers were allowed to be soldiers then the 'war' would be winnable. Like you say a soldier's job is to defeat the enemy, not to be some sort of compasionate policeman. To call what is happening in Iraq a war is totally wrong. It is a police action and as such can go nowhere. Instead of prosecuting soldiers for offending the delicate sensibilities of the very compasionate and peace loving Iraqi terrorists, IE the entire native population of Iraq, give them the authority destroy the enemy. Only then will it be a war, and only then can there be an outcome. Well said, but I have a slightly different take on the situation.
