Hi. Thanx for the gift cert. I haven't used it yet, though. Wonder what happened to the Beagle? Probably sleeping on the doghouse. Reminds me of the bumper sticker on a British car, "All parts falling off this car are of Britain's highest quality."

You're welcome.

The British company responsible for the electrical system on Beagle is Lucas, otherwise known as "Prince of Darkness".

As the old joke goes,

"Why do the Brits drink warm beer?"
"Because Lucas makes their refrigerators."

I'll be surprised if Beagle is ever heard from. It would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
