the trick with hamfests, swapmeets, and surplus yards is to be able to 
recognize the right thing when you see it - the trickis when you have
never 
seen it.

Malcolm,

Nah, I don't hate you.......yet.  If you ever get as lucky as Richard 
Hull has been at hamfests bringing home truckloads of Keithley this 
and government surplus EMP that for *only* ten dollars, and start 
waving it in our faces so we all turn green with envy, then I'll hate
you. : )
