Thanks, Mike - I fell prey to the old fallacy - "if I haven't seen it, 
it must not exist."  That said, I'd love to see something more 
up-to-date. It has always intrigued me that the KPA-1500 took so long to 
actually enter the market, having seen a prototype at Dayton about 10 
years (or so) ago. And of course, we're all waiting for the K4.

I still view Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine" as the best 
example ever of close-up technological narrative.

73, Pete N4ZR
