You may be interested in some of the new stuff i am seeing for small commercial buildings. Per room localized heating and cooling. One outdoor unit and up to 4 indoor (ceiling mounted) indoor units. Panasonic is one of the brands.

Historically, Shetland (Zetland) was not part of the uk mainland and was more viking territory, hence the Old Norse names everywhere. For this and other reasons, you should never call a Shetlander "Scottish" :-). It is pretty desolate out there though. The only thing you hear when you wake up in the morning is the wind and the sheep, though it can be very silent as well. Great place to be if you are into stuff like meditation. Ken eventually had a house built at Bridge of Walls, where he still is with family, but have never seen it and haven't been back there since 1975... Regards, Chris

As it is right now I am not sure that our Japanese and Thai places around here will make it. That source tax would potentially push a lot of those over the cliff. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
