Relax, Per, it was only a suggestion. The trials here aren't exactly
easy. We were talking in Chinese and the implication was more of what

Others have mentioned tubus to me also. What it comes down to is what
is available in this country. I also have the option of designing my
own here in the manufacturing Mecca of the world.
