For what it's worth, the appreciation of John's investment, as a
collector's item,
will probably make us ALL wish we had paid what he paid...unfortunately, I
don't
have the spare money - but everyone remember that stupid plastic Olympus
doll -
somebody paid almost as much for it - wait ten years - they'll be the last
one laughing.
So, John, having just received a cap by my local dentist, one I enjoy
using each and every day, may I wish your new investment to be as
pleasurable, useful, and
practical as mine was.
