Not that I am not interested in hearing stories and information about $25 FC upgrades (I am)... but this reply from Alpha Golf to your wonderful post, Heasdtrong, reminds me of a cartoon I once saw from the "Overboard" series (the comical life of Pirates on a ship). A shipmate looks depressed and is approached by another and asked what is wrong. The shipmate recalls how he purchased a very expensive engagement ring for his girlfriend with his entire life savings. He tells his colleague that he showed it to the Captain of the ship and handed it to him to take a close look at. The Captain had been eating hot buttered popcorn and the ring accidentally slipped through his fingers and landed in the sea -- lost forever. After a beat, the colleague turns to the shipmate and states, "You mean there's hot buttered popcorn on the ship?!"
Alpha Golf -- You're the colleague in this story... {nudge, nudge}.
Toodles!
