Mike, it sounds like a good idea and worth the investment. If we continue we could draw on your expertise. We're in a coast mode I think until we find out from R. Burnham what the C-right position is. I really feel a full set on a (or two) CDrom(s) would be great, but I'm not sure the market is large enough, even if we think there is. I'm for an effort like this.
