[R-390] FR dx 400

[John Kolb]

Hi John,

Glad it got there in one piece.

Think you gave me the PO Box # as well as the address,
but warned me not to ship it to the PO box # as they
would just ship it back to me. I would have thought I
could ship to PO boxes and they would just put a slip
of paper in the box saying to come to the counter to
pick up a package - same slip of paper I get for packages
to my rural mailbox, as they seldom drive the 300 yards down
our dirt road from the mailbox to the house for a delivery,

Thanks for the order.

I noticed there was a frdx400 on ebay - bid was at $25 about
the time I shipped - I never got back to see what it ended at.
There's one there now, "about MINT" $100 starting, buy it
now $350. Sounds a little optamistic to me.

John
