Sounds great Bob However you'll need to put up something soon.. because I intend to buy a repeater when they come out in a few months and so if you want me to hold on to that cash which could go to you, then I am gonna need to see/hear more... I hope you can get yourself up and running soon so we can all see this new invention. good luck mate geoff On 17 Jan 2005, at 21:29, Doug Cox wrote: > Dear Bob, > > I think I love you.
