Hi
Look at the economics of a museum. Count the heads on the payroll.
Count the paying customers you see times the admission fee.

Thanks for the heads-up. Postage to the UK isn't quite so bad, and he
accepted a lower offer ..
The list of other items is well worth a scan, too.
I don't have a reference setup working yet but if there's anyone near
