Re: [TCML] mini Tesla coil specs

["Paul Brodie" <pbbrodie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, Herr Zap.
Simply a typographical error. I am legally blind and I normally write with 
18 type size. It is very difficult for me to see what is on the screen when 
I write with small type like this. I have set it to do it automatically when 
I write with HTML. Please excuse the error. By the way, even though I am 
using plain text, is there any reason I can't use a larger type size when 
writing to the TCML? I suppose I should be asking Chip but in a way, I am. 
;-)
Thanks for pointing out the error. That made my question rather confusing, I 
suppose.
