Of course the design       had a ruff time having stable steps. ergo each step       was given a focus magnet.              The project was canceled unfortunately.              this is just the origin. you will not be able to infer my       path control design, btw.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
