[TheForge] Miniature air-arc

[Kathy]

You're welcome, Larry.

Once you boys have built your toys, 
and are grinning about all they can do,
"the others will soon be wanting one too"
 :-)

I've learned to be patient about how long good ideas take to catch on. It seems
to have something to do with the rise of inertia doubling in direct proportion
to the actual value of the notion, or something like that :)
