Well Steve Vance i think you misunderstood me.

I have thinked that you are the "good" guy for giving caps without earning
money,

While some other take a big "provision" for selling caps( when did the help
sombody ?), and i would not surely buy from them. Partyaly because i cannot
afford atleast 500 $ for a MMC. I just buyed 2 maxwells from Terry ( they
arrived yesterday) for 100 $. I would like to see what can beat that. And
maxwells are cute:-).

Best Regards
