I feel horrible, Jeff. Am so sorry. I went back and retested. It
worked fine. I did use the calculator when you first opened the page.

The "Torque Meter Wire Sizing Calculator" works fine! Well, it seems
logical to my math challenged mind.... =)

Must be that if a "cold" develops initially - an error is entered -,
it just gets worse. Exit the system; maybe, purge the computer files
and return. I did return, without purging my temporary files, after
the weird stuff started happening. That was not enough, apparently.

Again, very sorry, Jeff. You put a lot of work into the Indoor News
site and it is apprecriated.
