Sorry Eric.  I certainly didn't mean the word "toy" to be derrogetory in any
way.  Must be a cultural thing.  My job is to create room sized "toys" which
weigh several tons, contain thousands of kilowatts of potential and/or
kinetic energy, and require special connections to local electrical
substations.  When the creation is cool, it is referred to as a "toy".  A
"machine" is a boring thing which does not stir the soul.

So once again I say of your inventions.  Those are really cool toys!  Take
it in the spirit it was given.

masterpieces we sit back and enjoy our toys, for our mind, body and soul
extensions. I like that! Very good.
