I've been making popcorn in the office microwave for a while now, and
a few small problems keep showing up.  I often get a yield of about 2/3,
and if I leave it in much longer it begins to smoulder.  I've been
thinking about trying to introduce the neon/helium atmosphere microwave,
but I don't think the market's ready.

I use store-bought bulk in a paper bag, oven on medium for about 6 minutes.
I get a good yield from the 'corn with hot air or oil methods.  Clues?
