Hi Juris & all,
	I have LONG dreampt of SOMEHOW "catching" all the meteorites that fall
into "the ocean" (the 71% of the earth's serface that is water MUST get
71% {or there abaouts} of the meteorite falls). So far, I have, of
course, failed. However, remember how no one thought man could fly, no
one would ever go to the moon, etc, etc, etc. (maybe "star wars"
technology could be adapted? - probably too costly...) 
	If some "cost efective" method could be developed, it would be a GREAT
accomplishment! 
	Best wishes, Michael
