Shards in the mail indeed...this was 3 78s for 99 cents from an eBay seller
living in Nevada who accepted my offer of packing instructions AND my offer of
a box and several pieces of cardboard, then put the discs in next to nothing
(instead of my materials) and all of them arrived busted. Aaaaargh!
Ruppli is great except when he's not.
And now/et maintenant, here's Hank Penny/ici Hank Penny.
