Not saying here that he couldn't have been flat wrong (in the USAF you don't become infallable till you make Brigadier General or Chief Master Sergeant , and I was frankly skeptical from the beginning of our discussion), but we'll re-crunch the numbers sometime next week & I'll post the results. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
