Great stuff, Ken. It's clear that many of us read it and we all appreciate it.

I noticed that once again (for I don't know how many weeks in a row now), there is no Z51 constraint. Can you shed any light on this? Why was it limited to such low numbers for so long and now there are no limitations whatsoever? What changed, do you know?

Thanks, Ken.

Definitely a must read. I have missed the newsletter recently, figured you were just waiting for your shorts to thaw so you could type without hurting yourself.
