You can find quite a few Pentax scope references if you go to Google.com
then search GROUPS for "Pentax Scope".
Could you elaborate on that just a little, Tom?
Seems that is a way to search group interest lists for messages by
subject? Hmmm. Gotta look into that!
There are a couple hundred thousand newgroups on Usenet. Most ISPs offer
some type of newsgroup service to access them. You'll have to find out the
nntp server name then configure your e-mail program to use them. Some that I
subscribe to include rec.equipment.35mm and rec.photo.nature,
rec.photo.marketplace.35mm.
You can also subscribe to newsgroups through Google but it's a bit of a
kludge.
Google offers a way to search the newsgroup archives. Just go to the main
google.com page. Across the top of the page is:
Web, Images, Groups, News, Froogle, Local, More
Web searches the internet, images searches for pictures, Groups searches the
newsgroups, News searches for current news items and Froogle searches the
internet but only places that offer the item for sale.
Groups is a great resource. Froogle is a good way to narrow down the search
for an item you might want to buy.

Thank you, Tom!
Up to now I have been so impressed at what Google will do with what I
typed into their data entry line, I've paid scant attention to the other
capabilities!
But, I can see how that will help zero in on any given search.
I'll be trying that very soon... my daughter has given me the task to do
some searching on a legal matter; I've been asked to go looking for how
many and what sort of lawsuits are being filed against LLC holders, how
having an LLC protects them. Or if it even does!
Gotta give this one a good think!
I appreciate your help!
