I have a milspec M13 (Trackpoint II); it's beige. (The reason it's milspec? 1/8" steel back plate. Less noisy. Haven't tried to test the "can be used to drive tent pegs" assertion.) Had (well, I still have it, but it's dead) Unicomp Endurapro; it might have recovered from the water but not from me trying to get it apart to dry it. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
