So if someone asks me to keep an eye out for such-and-such a model, which they are happy to have shipped to them at their cost, then I am only too excited to start looking! I already did that once this year and it worked out *knock on wood* very well.

I rather liked writing this and thought it was the best typecast I've composed in several months; glad it went over well. <br /><br />@Ted: I thought you would admire my resolve in passing up the Swissa!

I hardly ever find a thrift store in Zurich! :)<br />The Swissa looks nice, white keys, green case, shift free exclamation point and Fr. symbol...

I hadn't realized that the "Occupy" movement was mirrored in European cities. I would have guessed that Switzerland was fairly immune to the troubles in the US and Europe, due to the lack of dependence on the Euro.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-85396115474714799462011-11-06T01:44:01.121+01:002011-11-06T01:44:01.121+01:00You managed to wring some sunshine out of a grey d...You managed to wring some sunshine out of a grey day :-)Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.com
