<div><FONT FACE=3D"Arial" SIZE=3D2>Well, Chris, we sure can't feel=
sorry about that. We F-16 cockpit builders have gotten=
such an incredible chain of superior mods already that it is=
almost unbelievable. All the switchology, the shared=
memory data, not to mention the realistic procedures, are all=
going to go into making one heckuva completed project (one of=
these years!). With the assurance of further data=
enhancements, we'll just have more reasons to say=
"thanks," which probably hasn't been done often=
enough. So... thanks, man!</FONT><br></div>
