PSN-
    Having no techno-smarts left, I cannot talk much about hardware/software
and all I can do is wave my arms in an attempt to motivate the building of
strong motion sensors. The bottom line is that strong motion sensors operate in
the range of groundmotion where the rubber of earthquakes hits the road of
public consciousness. We have just finished an intial report on what we did in
Turkey with respect to strong motion studies, and the website



will give you some idea about that. The point is that that there is alot more
potentially and actually hazardous groundmotion out there than there are
govenment employees and other professonals to keep an eye on it. Ask not what
Hi-Tech can do for you but rather what you can do for Hi-Tech: if you can't
make an on-scale record of the shaking which makes your house fall on your
head, you might as well depend on your house to be your strong motion recorder
