 Ok the proof of the pudding is in the amount of brandy poured it at
 mixing time...... 

 Ok I pointed my (tacho) at a filament lamp and it reads 3000 on 2 blade.
 
 I then went out to the kitchen and did something I've never done before, 
 pointed it a a flourescent light, it read 30000, that means that the
 flourescant is flashing at 10 TIMES THE RATE OF AN INCANDESCANT BULB. I
 KNEW there was some magic going on in there...-- 


Only joking it read 3000. I guess that makes it an honorable draw....:-)

cheers
