Wow -- it looks like the BattleCruiser economic model has accounted for 
the oversupply of Gallium by creating what is essentially a buyer's 
market!  How remarkable!  Does BCM also allow your importing/exporting

immediately!

I wonder if I can duplicate the BCM experience by using a BattleCruiser 
Icon for Quickbooks?
