Well, I was mildly disappointed but I certainly wasn't upset to the point
of "jumping up & down with anger". At $200+ (how much did that stupid
thing end up selling for anyway?) it wasn't even worth getting
disappointed over. I must have seen that thing at Foothill at least
twice, and that was probably 4 months apart. The guy selling it must have
thought it was worth a gazillion dollars because he passed up some pretty
good offers. How much did you end up getting it for, sucker^H^H^H^H^H^H
Mark? (you can reply off-list if its too embarassing).
