About what I paid, except I didn't keep paying/buying. I got a lot of it for free because, for reasons unaccountable, the old fart liked me. I even got the 'sidhi' stuff for free, right from him! But if you didn't pay $3000 to start and a whole heck of a lot more for the rest, I am sure Mahesh saw to it that you made up for that little shortcoming in other ways. -- But if you're happy with what you have done and got and so on, then that's good. You deserve to be happy. -- >From where I sit, however, what you got was what anyone with the checking notes could have given you for free: noticing some quite and some silence. Everything else is just the icing that kept the cake interesting so you didn't notice the hand in your pocket. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
