Keith,

I presume the option to limit the number of asteroids shown is one of
Bill's contributions to World Cardiac Health (it reduces the
opportunities to go and make yet another double-espresso while waiting
for stuff to render on the screen).

As for details of the advantages (up-to-date data) and disadvantages
(same espresso issue!) of MPCORB, see
http://projectpluto.com/user_man/page62.htm

Best &c,
Stephen Tonkin
