(I peddled a Tek optical TDR to a guy in his Cessna, enroute to So Cal - at local airport, during that particular black tulip craze ... there we were in the small lobby, with the test length of glass, showing a textbook reflection at its exact length. He didn't even want the box.)

'Twas a lobster and champagne evening at this end..
I expect some of the gasoholic peddlers were having the same - but in the Bahamas.
