"...the cost could be 10 times less than than what's used to make..." Jeez! "10 times less" ???? Isn't that a contradiction of terms? Wouldn't it have been more accurate to use terminology like: "...the cost could be a tenth of what's used to make..." Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
