[R-390] New Advance in Modern Technology

[Sam]

Bob,

You are not alone. A lot of us have the the same afliction and I don't see
any cure for it
in the future. Maybe that "Look" we get from our wives helps quench the urge
when
we mention a new toy.
Remember the permeability tuned car radios of the 40s and 50s?



Keep up the spirit,

Sam Doughty
