Message-ID: <744@vortex.UUCP> Date: Thu, 15-Aug-85 22:22:16 EDT Article-I.D.: vortex.744 Posted: Thu Aug 15 22:22:16 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 19-Aug-85 06:25:46 EDT References: <323@looking.UUCP> Organization: Vortex Technology, Los Angeles Lines: 13 The time machine that I built some years ago indeed used the current inertial frame reference, so there was no problem with finding oneself out in space. However, I also found that it was real easy to accidently muck around with history, and after discovering that it was impossible to put things back properly I gave up on time travel, came back to the present, and have tried my damndest to get used to the way things are "now." Maybe I'll have better luck with the Mach 2 matter transmitter. The Mach 1 was, uh, sort of "buggie." I should have kept a No-Pest-Strip in the lab. Oh well, live and learn. --Lauren--
