Kevin - Re: "But what amused Robert, I believe, is that you were confused about which direction to turn a screw to get it to go in."

I think it's YOU and ROBERT CHEN who are confused - Yousef had it exactly right.

The "Right Hand Rule" specifies that you extend your thumb in the direction of interest - in this case along the "screw" in the direction of the "pointed" end.

Closing the "hand", with the thumb so extended curls the fingers in the appropriate direction for "screwing in a normal screw".

Kevin,

Re: "Of course, we all know what the right hand rule is because we learned
it in high school."

You really have learned everything you know on this thread, Kevin. <ggg>
No, the "right hand rule" is used when taking the "curl" of two vectors
to find the direction of the resulting vector. Please ask Maxwell ... He
barely passed Physics at the "School Of Fools". <ggg> Kevin, now I know
why you like AMD so much.

Make It So,
Yousef
