Am waiting for an answer.</div><div><br></div><div>With that information in hand, we have the ability to establish some parameters and push ahead with this effort.</div><div><br></div><div>If David's willing and his gear can do what's needed, I think he'd be a most welcome addition to the scanning family.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Bottom line: If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. And we need to identify what "right" is before we crank up the machinery.</div><div><br></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
