	Please do not post requests of this type to the net!  The
infomation desired is most readily obtained by calling the manufacturers
and asking them.  This method is not only faster and more accurate, but
saves the entire net the cost of transporting and storing your message.

	Sorry to sound so rude, but I'm fed up with people seeing the net
as an information panacea.  For many types of queries, there are simply
better ways to find the answer.
