Maybe... I'm 5'6", long, brown ponytail, clean shaven (at the moment), and
might have been wearing "glacier glasses" (my only prescription sunglasses)
if it was sunny enough to need them (which was _not_ often that Friday).

Me, too, although I have bought items at Dayton marked "defective" - got a
3Com 3c905 that way for free - the seller threw it in as a freebie because
I bought _something_ from him - took it home, plugged it in and am still
using it. I suspected that the thing that was most likely to be defective
was the bench-tech who tested it. I was right. Doesn't mean I want to
test 200 lamp modules, though.
