Sorry about that.

yeah, the van interface should all be the same wire count etc.

That is no easy task let me tell you... and doing it in the quantities
we're talking about? "ha" is exactly the response you'll get anywhere
you care to look. It's taken two years to get to this point in this
aspect alone.. and it's all through good people, not money, that it
has become possible for us at last.

Dunno, based on the current state of things, we might be able to
squeak "only" by in place of "most" in that statement. But don't
worry, I'll prove it before I claim it.

It's Friday!! Have a beer! or 10!

On a personal note, I want to thank the list for distracting me
tonight also, my girlfriend's closest friend got some disheartening
news in her ongoing fight with cancer, and I'm pretty upset about it
but can't be with them.. talking about this stuff has helped quite a
bit to keep my mind feeling some comfort and normalcy in this
unforgiving universe. Please give thanks, everyday.
