SNIP -- Stephen, Just for the record,Porsche AG, a stock company, designs, assembles and markets sports cars, presently the 996 and the 986. Porsche AG, through its dealers and catalog, does offer a line of "Porsche Selection" items, like logo clothing, logo luggage, and logo sports equipment. A wholly separate firm, not affiliated with Porsche AG, owned by Butz Porsche, and called "Porsche Design," designs and sometimes markets items like the familiar sun glasses, pipes for smoking, and other upscale consumer goods that people are most familiar. Those consumer items may be marked with a discrete "Porsche Design". Got to keep you honest, Stephen. No comment on my part whether Leica should get into up scale clothing, pens, luggage, etc. BTW, enjoy you web site and appreciate your time and efforts to keep it current. Best Regards, Bill Caldwell <sneeker@erols.com> Enjoy you web site and your efforts to keep it current.
