Thanks Angie! I got a box with 5 kits in it today HOORAY FOR MOTM!!! Now I
have stuff to do while waiting for the dual VCA. Congrats on the sales Paul,
you know we all love ya for the modules and sweating after 10pm! Having
simply happy customers is a passing fancy for you, we are more like addicted
customers HA!

PS. Thanks also for the free CD Paul! Why does 5 kits in hand feel like a
million bucks?
