I am getting very tired of references to the PSIM, seeing as how only a few
people have them and it is ³vapor ware² as far as the rest of us are
concerned. While well-intentioned, I think that Larry¹s proposal is too
complicated. In my view, we should stick with something that will appeal to
the broadest constituency first, then, refine later. From my perspective,
the Basic Atom Pro is the way to go a flexible platform that readily will
succumb to subsequent user modifications. DAVID
