I fear for your bank accounts :-) What a sensitive and caring soul you are... Me, I'd like a new (smallest size) iMac. But I am protected from my wilder impulses by having married a Micawberish Swiss. Thank Gahd. Now, I shall have to line up the Merkato. How about 1930ish? Or should it be later (or earlier)?
