You mean this blister package crap? If it's that, I very much doubt you get enough of it plain and straight.
There are certain types of office plastic binders made from PVC. Would give a perfect straight sheet of insulation. Should be cheap and easy to work with (saves you from loosing some limbs when cutting ;) )

Cheers,

I would add that the 7.5MHz clock represents a wavelength of 40 metres (129 feet).

A man at a street market told me if I got 40 metres of wire and made it into a coil by wrapping it around my computer, it would absorb all this energy. I could then use it to power the computer. He looked a bit "shifty" but what he said made perfect sense. I gave it a shot...

So, anyone got a new QL? Mine had a small fire, a big explosion, and then a satellite crashed into my house! I must have got the length wrong. :)

Haha I think I'll stay away from that idea!
