Hi Marco,

Hey, Congratulations! Yes, I remember it well. This is a fantastic 
accomplishment! I'll keep this short as there may be many questions on 
their way. I do have one question. Now that the divider is working, I'm 
sure you and Paul (and possibly others) have been analyzing data. Are there 
any "unexpected" surprises? I guess I'm also curious as to how our terminal 
voltage estimations compare, for example: Vtop = Vpri x sqrt(Cpri/Cee)?

Great job!
Bart B.
