   JATO is really cool, except for the testing done by some chap in the
   desert recently. Seems he attached a JATO unit to a big 'murican boat
   (Caprice? Crown Vicky?), found a long straight stretch, jumped in and
   fired the puppy up. The sheriffs found his car stuffed well into a cliff
   a longer way down the road, brakes burned out, they figured the speed at
   impact to be in excess of 250mph. Guess he didn't figure out the
   throttle. Must have missed the zener diode overboost protection trick
   from this list.

I did say they had their drawbacks . . . and he didn't say *anything*
about wanting to stop, only to *GO* . . . heh heh
