<ColonelPanik> dthomasdigital, wait until you go to the Solar Fiesta before you do anything expensive
<dthomasdigital> Oh it's going to cost big time, I'm thinking about 800 Kilowatt hour system

<tritium> Hi,
<tritium> Your Cd's have been requested.
<tritium> Many Thanks Rachael
<dthomasdigital> Thank's to tritium for ordering, with out him I'd have nothing for my presentations.
<beanie77> I heard a solar guy say that is is 10x cheaper to buy low power appliances than for a solar system. The data point is about 5 years old.
<tritium> So, now it's just a waiting game.
<dthomasdigital> Rachael Tripp? She rocks 
<tritium> She's a trip ;)
<gcleric> tritium: that's bad...
<tritium> gcleric: hehe, I know.
