Hi Terry B.,

Thanks for doing the divX conversions and website download work. I
downloaded the player
and movies. They ran flawlessly.

Incredible video! Good job Ted and Kevin! The coil is just simply amazing!
As much as I
liked watching the video itself, I truely enjoyed the different camera
angles and the
closeups of the toroid breakout areas. I think I'll watch it again, and
again, and
again....

It truely is a "must see" for all coilers. If this video doesn't inspire
you - nothing
will.

Take care,
Bart
