Seeing is believing as it were. I can be convinced.... no doubt about it... but like I say I would very much like to see one of these instruments first hand, and even more would like to follow the production process of one of them. Seems to me that if the claims you make, as I understand them, are true... then you are sitting on rather a clear cut gold mine that only needs discovering. I mean... something that good simply has to surface big time sooner or later.... or what ? Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
