Frank,

I was not tire kicking!  I had brought all my M lenses (which had been 
bought at their stores) and my
credit card.

Maybe I'll wait till they appear at La Jolla garage sales.  For example, 
two weeks ago my daughter
bought a Leica D-Luxe, new in box, with every goody that came with it, 
for $100. It was unused!
I tried it out too.  That was what decided me to get an M8. But I will 
not buy an unreliable electronic
item by mail.  My motto now is; NO TRY, NO BUY!  No kidding.
