The problem was, I responded you your first before I read your second. 
Itchy email finger, ya know...

Nope, I have $0.00 invested in Cis-Lunar. I was going to invest at one 
point, but this little thing came up (my daughter), and suddenly, there 
was no more surplus money lying around. Go figure... They do have my 
deposit chech for the Mk-5 that I am purchasing, but that is not an 
investment in the company any more than the $$ you paid for your thingy 
is an investment in BioMarine.

I don't think he got a CCR500 - he got one of the 15.5's (I think). I 
haven't talked to him in a month, so I don't know what the status is.  I 
just though I'd rib you in much they same way you've been ribbing me.

Try bumping down to 9600 baud.  It's a little slow, but when you're at 
400' and you don't know what setpoint you should be using, then you can 
jump into the Techdiver Archives and find out.  That's saved my ass on 
more than one occassion, I'll tell you.
