No need to "rig up" such a program - the automated bidding program - the "elf" I think they call it - is available to one and all right there on e-bay. You could use it yerself if you're so inclined. And, if someone is using that program, submitting a bid in the last 45 seconds won't help ya' unless your bid is equal to or more than the other bidder's maximum. E-bay is a great place for sellers but not so good for buyers. The very way it is structured pretty much ensures that there will be few bargains.

I was leafing through some old FSMs last night, and came across a 1990 article, and it included a picture of Ray in his workshop, working busily on it. Sad, actually, because I think R.R. is a very fine modeller, and a 1/8 SE-5a from his hands would have looked swank indeed. (The FSM article, by the way, was scratchbuilding a 1/48 LVG, and it contains an excellent, well-illustrated, description of how to skin wing cores; I won't need to pester you about this ever again, Shane.)

Message-ID: <36A3EBAB.F13EED86@wireweb.net> A bit earlier today (before noon) the 18th of January, I was at the time temporarily unsubscribed, (till just about 30 minutes ago) I received 17 messages which I had previously received on the 24th and 25th of December. One was from Jose Valenciano wishing every one a "Bagong" Christmas. For which I mentally gave him a Maboohai. I was unsubscribed since 3 January (Due to a failing Motherboard.) till late in the afternoon of the 18th. First message to List Processor was at 7:51PMThese message were hung out somewhere on ta server which just turned them loose even though they had already finished their earlier purpose. When it comes to goofy, computers can do. Lee Suvoroff@aol.com wrote: > Quoth the Innimitable Sharon; > "I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very merry and special > Christmas.
