           Jim,
              As usual you keep forgetting  the little stuff:

$5,000 to $15,000 for an air compressor and filtration.

What's that you say Jim? You want to be a gas blender but you are to 
cheap to buy the air system. Well I hope everybody in Virginia Beach is 
smart enough not to air top whatever swill is in your tanks, when you 
go skulking into their shops and say,"Just looking for an air fill". The 
people I know who "Home Brew" do it all themselfs. They have proper 
equipment, real O2 analysers, and own their own compressors. They 
assume the liability and take full responsibility for what they 
produce. They also take pride in what they do, and make sure it's 
done right. Why don't you ask George if he disagrees with what I am 
saying. But then I keep forgetting, you're not a Trimix diver. 
You're a "Key Board Stroke" who wants everybody to think your a 
Trimix diver. Now be honest Jim, have you ever dove Trimix?

NO! Doing it on the internet doesn't count.

         Ted

The world contains but three types of people:
            1. Those who make things happen.
            2. Those who watch things happen.
            3. Those who wonder what happened.
