You and I both Sellam - this is like looking at
stuff when we were in grade
school - like the fly that looked like a monster. Is this machine one the
large heavy ones I've seen in older books or have they brought the

They'll be as easy to get as a PDP, I suspect. From reading the

electron microscopes get to be 10-25 years old, people tend
to give them away for the hauling.
