I'm smiling like an idjit reading about your first experience with TimTams. They're wonderful little treats, aren't they?
29 Palms is the home of the Marine Corps Air-Ground Taskforce Training Command (http://www.29palms.usmc.mil/). I've spent many a deployment there, freezing in the winter and broiling in the summer, as we practiced the techniques of desert warfare along the Delta Corridor.
The last time I was there was 92, when we did an interesting Joint Operation with III Army Corps and 29th Air Force. Since I retired from the Corps in 95, it would take a recall to duty to get me back out there. (That's not impossible, I knew 17 retirees who got called back for the Gulf War.)
But trust me, Tim Tams are a much more pleasant topic.

Re: It's terrible when your software's incompatable...
I was very surprised at how quickly they disintegrated once they were wet. Maybe the Evil Witch made them ;-).
I also learned that there is an "Australia Store" in San Jose where these things are available! Woohoo!
So what brought you to 29 Palms? (What's out there, anyway? I have heard of it only because there's an airport.)
