Kewl! That's the best results I've heard of to date.
Re the organic soup - try different water sources. The purer, the better,
probably. I presume you are working from the "Joe" video rather than=20
the book? The two seem to contradict each other on some rather vital
points - where they do I'm inclined to ignore the book and take the
video as gospel as it's supposed to be Joe talking.

And back at you, Ren. And to the rest of the list. It's Xmas Eve

Personally, I think the so-called and grossly misnamed millenium bug
is nowhere nearly as bad or as all-pervasive as some would have us
believed. Trouble is there are people who stand to make a buck out
of it - money is involved so there is a vested interest in playing
it up and making it appear far worse than it really is.

There *are* **many** computer systems _and_ embedded controllers around=20
the planet that are *not* susceptible to this "century bug".

Cheers all,
