Hell, I don't even have the instruments for some measurements so I go by feel, or rig something up.

I am looking forward to seeing a new rad offering from Swiftech.

Oh, and Bill, lately I think you've been nearly clinically cynical, not grumpy. I've got no measurements to support this observation other than gut feel, and that is certainly suspect in calibration and repeatability.
