Yes, I know, I know! :-) I am not at all trying to downplay the value of
what you're doing, as I hope to keep my PPC hardware running for a good
long time before I have to get a second mortgage on a house for a RS6000

far in advance (yes, most sane people would call that "getting ahead of
yourself") O:-)
