Subject: [alt-beam] Re: A total difference typye of bot
Hi Jason:
That would be my CYBUG, all right.
The plant can be solar powered with a large array, but for convienience
I usually plug them into a small adapter. A little less expensive than
powering a 500W halogen lamp.
You can see it at http://members.home.net/cybug,
if you wish
