SGR- great to know we are top of the heap with no exponentially superior devices out there! lolFunny, no matter what the machine out there was, it was much better than the MIT-1000a, according to Cotton. Banky said it was no good beacause it couldn't test food. WHAT?? Unless you stick a chicken leg in it, all other machines need a culture/enrichment medium of bacteria to test for pathagens. Dr. Haavig stated there were no shortcuts, all needed bacteria grown. So I guess the chicken leg is out. Love this board. MMTC ready to pop!!
