That would be cool.  My to-do list, however is rather extensive; I wouldn't be
dabbling in 10 wide for a few....decades:-p

Well, I got something going on with my firewire connection, and haven't had the
time/patience to solve it.  At this point I'm going to be getting a new computer,
so I'll just reconfigure then.  But I have collected enough parts to build 6 more
coalporters, so that will be a cool sight:-)  I have MOCs *piled* up that I have
yet to share, so hopefully soon!

I am leaving for ONC tomorrow for a family wedding; I'm hoping I can get together
with a locals...
