Hi Sally,
I got the Interstellar Overdrive and the Cloaking Device speaking to each other perfectly now!
It was actually fairly simple - you see they were each built on different planets and as a result did not speak quite the same language. The Overdrive was built on Mars and the Cloaking Device was built on Venus. So of course no one realised that a gender bias was built into the system. Each design team just assumed that the other would know how to speak
their language. So, what I did was the opposite of what
most seemingly incompatible devices would do. Most would introduce NEGATIVE feedback. Well, in these types of cases that simply results in increased cross-talk and less communication. What was REALLY required was POSITIVE feedback. Just a little tiny bit goes a long, long way. So, with the introduction of some miniturized flux capacitors inserted in both the address lines and the data lines providing a very small amount of positive feedback the IO and the CD are in complete harmony now. It is absolutely amazing what a little positive feedback will do.
Yes, this is a metaphor!!!
Whoo Hoo!!!!
