Need help with Grid 386

Hellfires and TOWs are some bad ass missiles - I worked with some grunt
artillery soldiers while I was stationed at Nellis AFB in the late 70's as a
tactical missile systems tech working on all sorts of air launched
conventional missiles, smart bombs and general munitions. I also worked with
a lot of defense contractors when they developed and asessed new systems on
our bombing range in the desert. I worked with some really neat equipment
for the (then) new IR version of the AGM-65 Maverick with Hughes Aircraft.

   Not as handy as the Hellfire missiles that go with it. They should be
just the ticket for clearing the tourists off the road and out of my way.
:-)

  BTW I fixed the laptop and I've been using it. It also has the DATA I/O
PromLink software on it.
