<<<<<clipped>>>>>> ! Building your own spare parts is not easy. For that reason, ! if you do it, ! particularly if you turn out a really successful replica, let ! the rest of us ! know about it, since that means that you have the tooling ! worked out and can ! save us the effort of replicating your hard work. If you've ! done that, you ! deserve appropriate compensation, well above the "normal" ! price of a part, for ! making the otherwise impossible-to-replace part available once more. In other (shorter) words, if you're really good at it, people will pay you well for (re)making obsolete parts... :-) --- David A Woyciesjes --- C & IS Support Specialist --- Yale University Press --- mailto:david.woyciesjes@yale.edu --- (203) 432-0953 --- ICQ # - 905818
