Seems to me that any hobby can get expensive. My father spent quite a chunk of change on guns over the years as a hobby (and on RC planes, and on fishing, and glass etching and restoring outboard motors and so on and so on...). I know that I've spent more on computers and comics than I'll ever see again. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
