(meteorobs) OT -Second Quesstion or Proposal.

[stange]

Thanks Chris.
I was hoping another solution could be found for my RAM problems and the 
time delay inherent in Sentinel.
Hewlett Packard is only 35 miles from me and they won't even answer e-mails 
about driving there to buy RAM. Unfortunately with HP's the RAM is 
proprietary in configuration.
