I think this was fine.. it looked to be two in from the right on the  
bottom...

Looks perfect.

I don't think either could handle any more.

Cool, don't have one, so someone else will have to check this.

Personally, I think its a reasonable thing to do, others might argue  
differently.

Now, something else happened.. I had the TH-D7 on when I sent the  
message to the TM-D700.  Xastir crashed when the reply came back from  
both the TM-D700 and the TH-D7.
