Agreed.  Since it looks like some folks got all wound up over this,
I'll say again that I've just been brainstorming and kicking around
ideas.  The fact that I probably have a local source for the tube for
free or swapsies (from a friend who I do lots of swapping with)
notwithstanding, I think Dan's price is pretty fair and if I needed
one, I would buy it.  By the same token, if I was looking for a turnkey
SS solution, I would look at both Chuck's and Dave's solutions.  All
have merit and should fit well with different buyers, and I wish
everyone the best of luck in thier endeavours.

Now, I gotta get back to reconfigging this vintage IBM server....

God rest ye merry, gentlemen.

Jim
