my own Soundboard

[Richard Brekne]

Greg, I am indeed impressed !  Go for it ! I of course can not help you with
any of this process you are jumping into beyond offering you a billion
wishes for sucess in the endeavour in all its respects.

But perhaps you could help me, and perhaps many others a great service in
the process by keeping us posted in sort of a day by day diary format of
your experience as it developes. What kind of problems you run into, how you
solve them, and what insights you pick up on the way.

Good Luck on this Greg !
