    Very Interesting. Do you have any more info on this?. I am leaving
    Monday on a trip, so if you do, I would love to take a look at it
    after the 15th of May. My wife has warned me, that if I get withing
    30 feet of a computer whilst on this trip, there will be hell to pay,
    but then again, she has to sleep sometime :-) 

Best Regards.
