Robotics?

[Nicholas Bodley]

While not specifically interested in robotics, I have a strong interest in  
smallish precision mechanisms, especially mechanical analog fire control  
computers and mechanical calculators. I'm rather well-informed about  
electromechanical devices; was a Navy fire control tech ca. 1956, and  
resident Flexowriter tech. ca. 1961.

Regards,

At the risk of making a fool of myself, I'd like to
call attention to <http://handsonhowto.com/>,
which (so far) looks like an uncommonly-understandable
introduction to practical networking, *ix, and the Web.
