DFM either didn't realize that ~1400Wm2 was the value of sunlight power denstiy at Earth or didn't care. In any case he was right on. If SM (or anyone, me included) want's to keep playing "pertend expert" without first checking the facts then he deserves to repeatedly get his ass handed to him.

        I guessed what he meant. But that was NOT what he SAID. I was being picky, but precise. - David F Mayer - 5/13/2004 3:34:46 AM
