Chris,
i recently ordered a Rolykit over the net. It was very expensive, but we
will have to see how it works. It hasn't arrived just yet. I kind of wish now
that i didn't order it because i suddenly decided to go on a trip to Paris &
Rome in August, & am trying to save all the money i can for the trip. BTW, do u
or any1 else out there have any suggestions for "must sees" in either of these
cities. I've never been to europe since about 74, in Germany. But i will be
spending my 27th B-day in Rome! (which sounds awful cool to me!) : )
