Yeah, the Special Dark are my favorite type of TimTams. Very nice, smooth dark chocolate. It's good to have friends in the State Department sometimes...
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.

It's terrible when your software's incompatable...
I 'spose I could deliver a demo in firmware...
Re: It's terrible when your software's incompatable...
(Gak, this is reminding me of highly nerdy discussions about the latency and throughput of a street full of 18-wheelers loaded with CD-ROMs...)
Re: It's terrible when your software's incompatable...
In the meanwhile, TimTams are available by mail order. I know it's suboptimal by your criteria, but it has the advantage of possibly being faster.
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.)
