[Leica] OFFER FOR SALE ONE MOE TIME! A STEAL!

[glehrer at san.rr.com (Jerry Lehrer)]

Ted,

Wow! That is fabulous.  Considering that a close friend is offering me a 
mint Leica Digital Module
for the R8/9, in trade for two bricks of Ely Tenex! That is a terrific 
swap.  However I am urged by
people in Washington smarter than me, to have a Spending Freeze.

I sincerely hope that you people in Canada and other foreign lands do 
not have the economic
strictures that are urged upon us.

Jerry
