Ivan S. Abrams Very expensive to construct, though it works well. I wonder if this is a techno dead end, workable but not particularly practical. Of course, I'm a steel-wheel-on-steel-rail traditionalist, so my comments have about as much power as, for example, an electro-magnet when the power is cut... Posted: August 22 2008
