Roger that! Simple, yet effective.

So in other words you have a bunch of stuff in microwaves

Well c'mon. The sandbox can't be that fun.

I honestly think the chance of an EMP event is rare.

a ground based EMP bomb would be very localized, IF it doesnt effect much of the power grid.

A low altitude nuke/emp would also be localized, but would have greater odds of taking down the power grid.

A high altitude EMP in the right place in US can take down most of the power grid, and would likely keep it down for 5+ years due to the inability to repair the grid, and due to the need to do a cold boot of the power system. The side effect of fires would also cause a huge amount of damage. This can be achieved with 1950s era technology thus placing such an event higher on the danger scale than most would like.

The most dangerous to modern humans would be a massive solar EMP event. It would revert most of the world to the 1800's level of technology. The odds of this happening are higher than you think as well, There was one in the early 1900s

From what I've read we're actually overdue for one of those and if one actually happened, we may have 20-30 minutes notice... at most.

Not sure if serious....

Not quite... 2 more at home I need to upload

How about I just send you a external hard drive and you can dump it all on there for me?

I'll do you one better, I'll throw it on a DVD and burn it as a data disc.

Need supplies?

There is absolutely no reason to prepare for anything. Nothing to see here, move on.

From what I understand the event would be observable 2-3 days before impact by scientists. How quickly that information is relayed to the general public is a different story. I suspect there would be very little publicly announced to avoid the full scale mayhem that it would cause.

Greg, the "Other Skills and Info" .rar isn't unzipping for me. It said it is not a valid .rar

Everything else is opening. I got .txt docs on the AC 2004 file.
