Tracy,
You really have my admiration.  After I retire I swear that I will
never write another line of code as long as I live.  Unfortunately,
that is probably 10 years away.  I'm looking forward to seeing the EM-2
this fall.  I'll have to let the piggy bank recover from buying the RD-
2C though before buying the EM-2.  Oh yeah, I also need to finish an
airplane someday!
