Well, hey, I'll keepyou in mind the next time I go to a swap.

Sure wish I was still in Colorado, because between the two of us, we 
probably could do ok.

That Motorola speaker sure is great, and I just couldn't turn down the 
price.

You have all the luck.  I tried hard at the last swap to find anything
