Fred here, Webmaster of Vacuumland. Just got this email (one of many I receive as Robert can attest!) Thought this would be best posted here. If anyone can help him out, that would be great. You may want to talk him out of the machine as well. I have his permission to post his email. Contact at your convenience if you can help. If anything comes of this, please post the result.
