Lars made an offer you should seriously consider. He's an expert with Q-Jets.

Where can I get a copy of this Rochester book??

Here are links to the Doug Roe book, and Cliff Ruggle's book, too. You must be brand new to the internet if you don't know how to find a book. Usually a google search on the title of the book will get you where you need to go.

http://www.amazon.com/Rebuild-Modify.../dp/1932494189

BTW, it's considered rude behavior to highjack other people's threads.

Perhaps he was fishing for the donation of a dog-eared copy from a forum member who no longer needed it?

Yes, I know how to find a book, but why would you go looking on Google or EBay when the guy already has the address he used. Then you know it's a good source, and no I don't need a donation. I have been using and building computers since 1975. Do you know what DOS is??? Thought so.

And I don't think asking a question is hijacking. This after all a forum.

Yeah, I guess you're right, in this case. I think I may have just gone off half-cocked, because I have seen you blatantly hi-jack threads before. BTW, 1975? What was your first job, shoveling coal into the back of the computer?

If that's the case, then I apologize. I must have you confused with someone else. BTW, I like the "natural gas" comeback.
