[Alberg30] Atomic 4 upgrades

[T. Kevin Blanc]

I second Dan's suggestion. You may also want to look
at the products at www.atomic4.com, which is Indigo

some of these products, but I can tell you from
experience that they are well conceived and well made.

Also, hang around the Atomic 4 list for awhile...
