Thanks Frank, thank you Hans,
my ears are ringing! OK, the scalpel stays in the drawer. I'll just have
to try to keep the horizon horizontal by using concentration instead.
No, I don't know how much a 2-4 costs new. But here the 1-Series is
already twice the price I paid for this one, so I guess it's quite a bit
to take. The 'new from shop' prices always make me a little dizzy (see
next mail).
