Oops forgot to cc a few people Nick you said I should still have something to offer so here it is. Peter you said you never saw this design (it's a dual array affair sorry). Gene and Willy you were some of the early testers that noticed the advantages of the earlier designs, Matt you did lots of great earlier testing. WLI you inspired a lot of design ideas. Mike you were the stick. And a few others I've forgotten to mention and include. -- -ck
