I don't dissagree with you observation, John, that's why I said later in the
post:
"Unfortunately, it wasn't all available at a convienient time. It was more a
matter of being in the right place at the the right time."
Perhaps it wasn't the clearest statement I could make. There has been a lot
available in S, just not right now or continuously. We are in full agreement
there. (Surprised?)
Perhaps I've been more fortunate than most in that products I was interested in
over the past years cawere available either when I needed them or was able to
adapt to what was available. One of the benefits of freelancing, I guess.
