I have to say it seems real. I had just asked Rob off list about micros of
Hambleton, and to my shock he replied he was out of the meteorite business,
that someone had bought out his entire stock and he was retiring. If this is a
joke, it seems a pretty elaborate one; if Rob is staying on as a dealer,
telling your customers that you are out of business is a really weird
advertising ploy.Tracy Latimer> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
