Hey Duck and All....

Most if not all of us appreciate what the Geek Group has done with the MMC 
cap's. Awesome cap's for really cheap. I just got back from Mark Stolz's 
house in Pearland (houston basically) TX, we ran his 2" coil again. With the 
geek cap's, they are amazing. That tiny coil was *constantly* arcing to the 
ground --- no streamers. Powerarcs, white/blue/hot out to 39". And the 
secondary is 12" long.

Needless to say the capacitors are awesome. 0.15uF -at- 2kVDC. Big round white 
axial-lead caps. Mount 'em anyhow you like. Mark prefers plexiglass, I prefer 
perfboard.

Magnet wire huh? Now THAT that sounds like some good stuff.........and 1500 
POUNDS of it?! 

Take care all. To summarize:

1. Through dealing with them, I've learned that The Geek Group is a great 
organization to be involved with. Great people, great goals.

2. The Geek capacitors are really good.
