Hi Marco,

As one who has spent many hours contemplating how to make such a wonderful 
device, I congratulate you on achieving it!!!

I can hardly wait to see what it tells us.  In the end, you make it look so 
easy ;-))  But I know just how difficult it must have been dealing with the 
many details!!!

Hopefully your papers and backyard project will go quickly!!

Cheers,

        Terry
