[Max Balchowsky]

We sold for Home Depot (actually through HD for Astropower in 2000- 2001 in the Palm Springs area. It lasted about a year before they started shopping install labor - then it fell apart with competitors slinging lowball prices to get the work.

Andrew,

Koyaanisqatsi is also a great movie by Francis Ford Copolla. You should all see it. It's been awhile since I've seen it but if I remember correctly it's a Hopi Indian term meaning once we start digging from the earth, we're screwed beyond repair.
