Just a reminder to all Freon folks that the reason behind the increase in
cost of Freon is that its phase out is due to the Montreal Protocol an
international agreement reached in the late 80's that essentially banned all
chlorofuorocarbons (except for medical and some agricultural use) because of
their implication in the destruction of the ozone layer.  So... continuing
to use Freons is just contributing to the accelerated destruction of the
ozone layer (cataracts ,skin cancer... talk to any Australian about this).
