Hello Greg:
I read your coil update with great interest and also a touch of frustration.
The frustration is simply a by-product of the fact that I really can't be
present at the test runs! :^) Since I won't be able to attend, I am
wondering if you had considered making video tapes available to us who don't
live on the West coast? It sure would be great to be there, or second best
at least see a video--any thoughts on this? Thanks
