etd's

[Elian Degen J.]

Hi.

just take a look at how things are

My Chrysler Le Baron was brand new in 1979

In 1989 was an excelent car but looked like a piece of junk

Last year I overhauled it.everything with original parts Now it looks brand
new, it runs as new, and everyone wants to ride in it.It even  became more
appreciated than a new one,  People keep stopping me everywhere with offers,
and I have been offered already as much as three times its value....  !!!


Not same with computers though...  But it could be the same with
pianos...........
