Thanks for the input, 40y.o.v.
While I don't have that kind of costs built up in my stereo system, I'd hate to lose my collection of spores, molds, and fungi.
I haven't looked into any type of home security equipment in a long, long time, so I don't know what all is out there.
While I hate to say it, there's been so much to dig into for the new home construction that I just don't have the energy to educate myself on all the latest in home security systems.
As for this: "...you have helped me in so many ways, with your knowledge of ponds, fish, habitat,etc." You are kidding right?
