Science & Technology

 :)
Wedding ring?   HORA
Theme: Computer terms reinterpreted
Correspondence between philistines?   YAHOOMAIL
Grand Central waitstaff?   TERMINALSERVERS
Drum major’s concern through narrow streets?   BANDWIDTH
It is refreshing to get away from arts centered puzzles; this one features, in addition to computers, a number of science references (as well as art and opera).

 ::)
The Tupolev Tu-144, e.g.  SST [Really?]
Back-row bowling target   NINETEN [You’ve got as much chance of ever leaving only those two pins than you do of seeing this clue again. I’d go with “___ you big fat hen.”]

 8) Like Magellan, often   ASEA [okay, but he’s been dead for a few years; if you must use Magellan, how about cluing it “Like a Magellan” {referring to the GPS}?]
