 OK, I give up, what's the connection? According to Finseth's site, the 42s was introduced 10/31/88 (U.S. style date). That will be 22 years ago. Now we could have celebrated the introduction of the 22s on 6/1/10. If anyone cared. ▼

Quote: If you recall the book "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" 42 was the answer to the question - What is the meaning of life? 101010 binary is equal to 42 decimal. ▼

Sorry for the obtuseness. I guess I am just not a binary kind of engineer. ▼
