This way i can quickly bring my meteorites to market rather than wait for months so that i can get a name to sell it with. i will probably try to get a second NWA name for anything that i get classified but i can rarely get stuff classified anyway and dont bother trying anymore for the most part.</TT></P> <P><TT>i will let everybody know the url to my database once i get it going - likely around mid september.</TT></P> <P><TT>cheers</TT></P> <P><TT>dean</TT></P> <P><TT><A href="http://www.meteoriteshop.com">www.meteoriteshop.com</A></TT></P> <P><TT></TT> </P> <P><BR> </P></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM1ENCA/c156??PI=44318'>Click Here</a><br></html> Received on Fri 09 Aug 2002 03:03:55 PM PDT |
