Hi all,
First, thanx so much for the Rapidwinder info. I thought that the sales 
guy was being too much of a salesman when he started telling me it was 
too noisy and crude compared to the M-Winder. But I just wanted to hear 
what people who actually have one, and don't have a financial stake in 
my decision, had to say. Guess I need to start saving up to get one now.

Now I've been reading about Boston here. It reminds me that I left a 
roll of film in a taxi as I was going to the airport with my mom (Monday 
April 23). Went to Boston for a girlfriend's wedding (old friend of the 
family) and this was the last roll.  Had some great shots of my sister 
and her too. I had just finished the roll as we were waiting for the 
taxi in front of the Tremont Hotel. Like a fool I changed rolls in the 
taxi, but I guess I was too tired and left the roll in the taxi. I guess 
I should be happy I didn't leave my M6 there also (that's what I took, 
BTW. Shot with mostly 35 f1.4 and 85 f1.5. Some 50 Elmars too). Damn, 
damn, damn. Of course that's the ride we didn't get a receipt for! Damn 
again. Been re-enacting scenes from "Fight Club" over it since then.

I'm not expecting Boston LUGers to go out and look, I'm just letting the 
universe know that I want that roll back please. Thank you.

But if anyone in Boston does find a roll of T-Max in an E-100 or E-200 
can (can't remember which), that would be mine. Somehow I feel that it 
might turn up. Even if it's five years from now. By the way, if you do 
find the roll, I think I wrote on the cartridge that I pushed it to 1600.

<big sigh>
Gunnar
