Hi Kevin:
Thanks a ton for this link. I'll spend a chunk of my afternoon browsing
through the pictures, almost all of which are completely new to me!
Would you mind revealing how long ago you ordered or what the shipping costs

a purchase if it's sufficiently cost-effective.
Thanks again for the info.
Dave!
