Well, I suppose that we could put $10 each in an interest paying account, with instructions for it to be moved to other financial institutes as time and circumstances dictate, and a direct descendant could win the $10 million or so it should be by that time (or privileges to the equivalent, if money has been replaced)? Seriously, I hope you are right, but we are long overdue something wandering around the Universe to play pinball with us, or such other factor quite outside the control of inhabitants here. Just make sure they record it on 35mm slide film :-) Malcolm -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
