[Ausloco] Re: N Class

["Christopher J Jones" <cjjones@ihug.com.au>]

        Well i've learnt a bit more on the N class - But whether or not they
can be converted is yet to be seen - I'd like to see it, and i know Ivar
would, so we can only cross our fingers and have our cameras at the ready.
    I know more will be said on this issue and I'm sure we'll get to the
bottom of it soon.
    For the mean time thats all from me.

Chris.
