Eric and all,

Sorry I've been off-line for awhile. We've been making serious changes to
our business and also moving to a different city/new facilities. On top
of all that I have to move my household as well. We all know how that
goes. ;-)

I should be working out of my new office later this week. Hopefully I'll
be able to catch up on some e-mail backlog next week.

Best Regards,
-Mark
