Further clarification...
That's "nuts", as in: synonymous with "rats", or "shoot", or "darn", or "dang". That's the entirely understandable -- if slightly petulant -- reaction of one who has become highly addicted to shiny new pictures from daily Martian traverses. I had exactly the same thought myself. Most people on this board are plenty familiar with the ins and outs of software, Tom more than most, which has no bearing whatsoever upon the almost physiological nature of MER addiction. Thus your reproachments are quite unnecessary.
