True, particularly considering the shipping charge for things this heavy
and bulky.

I guess I could do something like I did when racing a C Production Lotus
Elan that was constantly blowing 1/4in cartridge fuses -- replace them with
1/4in fuse stock (e.g. brake line :-).  I figured I would rather see smoke
than losing power in a corner.

Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal
in slavery than unequal in freedom.
