The tray will chew your slides up in 5-10 passes! If you think > LKM you think plastic mounts! Ooooooooh... and on a moment's reflection I can see just why, too. Those little plastic "pinchers" that keep the slides from falling so easily out of the trays. Gosh.. and I scored such a coup a week ago by buying a little local dealers entire stock of LKM 2x60 trays .. for $4.00 a box. :) Thank you for the "heads up" on that. Not everyone ignores you, and I greatly appreciate your phone call awhile back when I was pondering the purchase of a projector from you. :) Mailing lists can be a frustration. Several years ago I was largely responsible for taking a small (25 member) mailing list dealing with pipe organs (my field) and taking it "public" on bitnet. Today it is known as PIPORG-L with a subscription list ranging between 2,000 and 3,000 depending on season of the year and other intangibles like moon-phase, I'm convinced. The result has been that the professional organbuilders and musicians keep a very low profile and communicate by private email because of the continual mindless palaver on the mailing list .. over .. and over .. and over .. and over again the same inane nonsense. And I'm undoubtedly "guilty" of the same thing from time to time on LUG, but please know those of you who *do* know these things actually *are* listened to by at least *some* of the correspondents to the list.
