[Leica] Out of the Doldrums...Mark's PAW 2009 - now finished.

Mark
I'm glad you made it over a rough spot. It happens to us all to some degree 
or another and it really would have been a shame had you ditched the whole 
damm lot.
Nice work even though you had to raid the files for a few.
Regards,
Bob
