However, if you are looking up the "Worlds Record" it has actually only been a bit more than 6 months. Certainly that is still "less than a year", but it sounds a bit more impressive (or stupid!). To be truthful, though, only 49 of these have been acquired in the last 6 months. The Fidelity SC9 I have had since 1982! :-) However, I just did win a Sphinx Voyager 202, so that will bring me back to 50 "in less than a year". > > My wife would have a few >>descriptive names to call me, but she really doesn't understand us at all. > > >this is another way to verify if you are a true collector > >as our collections increase .. our loved ones increase the terms and ways they >use to describe us > >right now my wife can yell at me in 125 languages (including ancient Galic) > >Stay The Course Regards >Steve I will stay the course, but I only wish that my wife had some "bad" habits. Maybe I should encourage her to find a young boy-toy to entertain her. :-O Sexagenarian Regards (and that has nothing to do with sex!)
