Ok, that wierds me out. Either the hamsters are real hungry or my mind has gone. I could have sworn that there was someone just before that last post with the name of **shalat il Allah** or some such thing with a sig line _ **Desert storm roughly translates as God’s sanding block.** _ Feel free to ignore me. My brain is compost. ---

Imaginary Product OK, this might take some explanation. In the electrical engineering world, j denotes an imaginary number instead of i, because i is the symbol for electrical current. Product, in the mathematical sense, is the result of multiplying two numbers together. ---
