But quality control was problematic, and I have used SPS gear that was junk, and gear that was quite finely made. The mere fact that something is competently manufactured without a lot of glitzy finish doesn't mean that it isn't functional, just that it isn't glitzily finished. SPS gear often LOOKS poorly finished, but much of it works quite well. I AM a strong anti-Communist and would almost certainly have not flourished under that system. But, what they did competently, they did competently. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
