Jesper,
     It's as if you're always on. I'd like you to know that your posts to 
this group and your own website are inspirational.
     I did see a Musicaid Claptrap sell on Ebay in the last year but I passed 
on it because the bidding got out of hand. Yes, I'd like to have one but the 
bottom line is, it is still and will always only be a Claptrap.

                                                                         Greg

Well, it's basically true... I have a holiday, but this summer it's spent
with my daughter (of 10 months) so it's a lot of time at the computer,
surfing Ebay, mailing etc... TOo hot outside for a polar bear like me... I
mean, wasn't Sweden supposed to be windy, snowy and cold... Not 30 degrees
Celsius...

Thanks a lot - that feels good to hear! I have received a lot of help from
this group too so I only feel I share what I can...

I saw that too... I think I even placed a decent bid, but when they crawl as
high as that one did, then I'm out...
Just invited another EPB-user btw - let's see if he shows up. And I just
packed my remaining three drum huggers for a trip to the States... But don't
worry, the rest of the Simmons gear is safe and sound in the studio
corner...
