Hello Howard,
A pleasure to make your acquaintance...I will certainly take a look at your book and most likely purchase it.No track record required.That was only a requirement if Fred was the author:)
Is the book available yet??
If you dont mind,would you give me a bit of insight into Biocomp Dakota?It seems like an interesting product,and I am clueless to swarm technology...
Thanks for the info
Allan
