To cite a product as being superior in terms of safety on account of the
abscence of electronics is a pretty good one. Speak to anyone who is
involved in the design and building of 'mission critical' systems that
have a control function based upon electronics - it is not easy or cheap
to produce ultimate reliability.

That computer was way ahead of it's time in concept and about 5 years
behind as regards build and quality control of components.

I have spoken to Tracy about this last year. Consider why the holder of
several patents relating to C2 design, builder of a one of the first
'proper' working rigs and a man with a vast amount of experience in
closed/semi closed circuit technology is keeping quiet. Dennis - I have
a damn good idea why and I guess you do too!!!.
