No, Wordwind, the bipod was not hopping, the biped was hopping, at least I'm hoping my biped was hopping.
[sigh} I give up. I was hoping to give a slick presentation that would dazzle, but no, you Awaders have the patience of a he-goat in rut.
So today I'll throw together some facts and figures and conjectures and post a report tonight.

And I'll even find a place for your "pods".
