Hi Steve,
You know, now that you mention it that makes perfect sense.
Although, keep in mind we're talking about MS machines here -- these
machines will need to be capable of emitting a shower of sparks and
smoke virtually non-stop.
Hmm. Actually, I think it might be fun to construct a spring-loaded
BANG! type flag, triggered every time Dr. Watson or the current
equivalent is executed.
take care,
C
