What I can't find is any specification detailing how the output of the cell will be affected over time. Does any hard data exist for terrestrial cell output? Would NASA documents of space born cells be of any accuracy as we get a far different spectrum down here? Just wondering where to look, jb@aablue.com -- A A Blueprint Co., Inc. - Akron, Ohio +1 216 794-8803 voice jb@aablue.com or {uunet!}aablue!jb (John B. Scalia) Just a little more nonsense to clutter up the net.
