  Indeed :-)  I didn't really figure it would be news to you, although
I was hoping you'd say something if things looked completely off-base.
 Anyway, I was quite impressed with the wi-fi power usage, as it was
almost completely non-existent unless you were actively doing
something.  Given that the active current for the radio approaches
~500 mA vs 100 mA during normal operation, it's quite a feat.

  I look forward to it.  Aside from a few glitches here and there it
shouldn't be too much to worry about.
