Congratulations Jeff, my last and _final_ replication is due in January.
One comment on the spec sheet:

|> Fuel capacity..................To be determined (possibly endless)
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  Capacity is not endless (thank favorite diety
                                  here for allowing some sleep)
However,
  
   Fuel Consuption................Thats Endless!
