wow, Alex, you're good! I did figure out the quantum cell thing, I'm up to 85,000 at the moment. But I haven't completed a dimension yet, for one thing, I keep getting lots of the class G artifacts, I think I've got about 8 of them in one dimension.
As for the centering thing, I am aligning with the home button, but I must be off by a smudge today.
