Sorry about that.

yeah, the van interface should all be the same wire count etc.

That is no easy task let me tell you... and doing it in the quantities we're talking about? "ha" is exactly the response you'll get anywhere you care to look. It's taken two years to get to this point in this aspect alone.. and it's all through good people, not money, that it has become possible for us at last.

Dunno, based on the current state of things, we might be able to squeak "only" by in place of "most" in that statement. But don't worry, I'll prove it before I claim it.

It's Friday!! Have a beer! or 10!

On a personal note, I want to thank the list for distracting me tonight also, my girlfriend's closest friend got some disheartening news in her ongoing fight with cancer, and I'm pretty upset about it but can't be with them.. talking about this stuff has helped quite a bit to keep my mind feeling some comfort and normalcy in this unforgiving universe. Please give thanks, everyday.
