Yes, this is true, I was testing them in the way I will be using them.  I
sold my dark room several years ago and also have no place to hang any
more 16 x 20's.  My wife has eye problems and can see pictures best when
they are projected.

>Your financial resources are not a closed system. Earn more and buy 

Oh yeah, who says so???  Not closed, but close.  I have no desire to go
back into either active practice of law, consulting, or writing.  My
banker (wife) won't make any loans - even of my own money!!! <gr>

Thanks for the comments though - I'll hold the thought.  With the sun
spots the way they are and the fact I haven't operated much in the last
two years, I have been thinking of selling my ham equipment.  Might be
able to sell it all for a 24/2.8 - M ASPH!!!  Hi, hi!
