Erik,
I never got to see the Aquarium Heute issue to see how Kasper presented the
pics. Did you receive the 5 copies that I asked him to send you.... and
already distribute them to the appropriate people. If you still have an
extra, can I have one. Thanks, Neil

PS. I will have to take a second look at the pixelly picture in PAM. I have
to admit that I did not notice a big problem when I looked at it recently.
I am glad you mentioned James' clinical approach. That helps explain the
bizarre white space.
