Hi,

There is one advantage of saltwater caps for the beginner.  The value can
be very easily adjusted by adding and removing bottles.  There are
adjustable MMCs, but the bottles are still easier to change.  Also, no
chance of blowing up the caps or doing damage that another sixpak can't fix ;-)

Cheers,

	Terry
