Coincidently, I just received the following message in this
   morning's email. Unusual, to say the least - we certainly
   seem to attract an eclectic audience! He didn't leave his
   mailing address, so looks like we've lost a big sale. I'll
   try an email reply, but it appears to be via a Radio Shack
   store in North Carolina, so don't hold your breath...
