cameras are DUTY-FREE)

C&E are currently closed. And they wonder why they don't get any support
from the taxpayers when the government wants to make civil servants work
longer and harder!? I may ask them next week what they would charge for
photographic equipment -- it's useful to know just in case.

I'm still reeling over my last expensive purchase. And that was also the
fault of this group -- if someone hadn't pointed it out for sale on 1-day
auction in Germany, I would never have been any the wiser.

I suppose that makes sense. But doesn't explain why they gave up and renamed
it Ti in the end anyway.
