Hi Dave
i've never been sanguine on the commercial prospects for this kind
of gadget, even on a small scale. So i don't blame you at all for
resolving to cut your losses. At the risk of seeming presumptuous ,
given your expertise and insight i'm sure that your interest in the
subject will abide, and will of course always be welcome here. For
myself, i'm grateful for your collegiality and your generosity in
sharing it.
