Yup, been bit by that rpm to rps before. I knew it didn't look right when 
I hit ctl+renter.

Outputs do, at the drivers input. So in the $20 bobs, you find isolated 
inputs, but not outputs.

Ahh, yes there are, but finding a bob that actually uses them?  Or a 
vender smart enough to know the diff?  Sorry but hens teeth are much 
more plentiful.

which should have been 362,500, much more reasonable

Fed us both. Got all the patches & plugs off me, but not all the tape 
glue. Some of that will need to wear off.

Nap time and maybe a shower would improve the air around me.  Heart 
attacks don't always wait till you've showered.
