Thanks, TC & Alan; me & Del thank you!
 One sign of advancing age in the Third Millenium, unless you work at it: you eventually become a technotard. So, gonna learn the ins & outs of Twitter; might hold back the senile dementia a year or two, anyhow!

UPDATE! On 08/12/2008, at 12:10:40 UTC, the NH spacecraft reached 1600 million km from the sun. The spacecraft's distance from Earth, by comparison, is 1.511 billion km. NH is now only 3.123 billion km from Pluto and traveling at a rate of 16.767 km/s. Later!

Well, since space is actually the ultimate ocean, wouldn't saying that NH has actually traveled 1,060,258,093,055 fathoms into the deep be more apropos?
