And bodies ... Mind you, it does mean she decides *when* to buy them. While we probably don't squeeze the last dollar out of the system, it certainly isn't difficult to get a whole lot more than 0.25% more than what you would get from lending the money to the government. And while that only means an average of $5 per $1000 for each percentage point, it can still add up to a measurable sum. Not enough for a K-5, but for the amount of time she actually spends doing it it's a decent return. -- 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.
