Re: dead reds

Mark,

You sound a lot more reasonable in this e-mail, but I have to say, your
barrage of 3 e-mails sent at 4:30 AM Georgia time (the e-mail headers
make me think you're from Georgia) made you sound like a complete ass.

Simon is not doing this for profit, he's doing this for us, his fellow
collectors.

Me personally, I have an order in for a Wintron (I need to call and ask
if they're ever gonna ship it). If Simon gets his working first, I'll
call and cancel the Wintron order. If another options shows up, I'll
get that. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with some spare flybacks. Not
a bad idea, especially if I want to keep my Star Wars game running.
