Hi Duncan,

He's a close friend of DK's....who was telling me
about the project. I guess he spent a good bit of last
year on the it. Does anyone have Brian's email addy?
We could ask him. We were talking about Chris Dale's
double tron....lots of untold history (on this list
anyway) about that machine, Mike Ayoub and his
brothers, the Birotron etc.

Mark.
