Jim: earlier in the thread you mentioned posting a summary/breakdown of the project (costs, etc.). Have I missed that?

Curious: where do you work - or what kind of work, if you don't want to be specific. I can think of workplaces I've had that would have been aeromod-friendly, and others that would have been, um, aeromod-averse.
