Heh, yeah, misunderstood. If so, I bet Marc Blank would be over to waggle
a virtual finger at you in a hurry. >:-) Sorry!

I got my geoRAM last night. While it's ostensibly for GEOS, it works just
fine with other things. It's not an REU -- actually, I think it's better,
since you can build a clone with off the shelf components (instead of that
rotten REC chip) and it has a very low power draw (unlike the REU, which
eats 64 power supplies for lunch).
