[Todd Walton]

I didn't get much out of the press release you linked to. There was vague
language all over the place! It "moves between state values that were
measured at different points in time". Okay... that could mean almost

I'm not sure what it is you're comparing to the system you worked up in '93
and '04, Jim.
