Steve,
This morning I was at Frank Krajewski's (frankk@intap.net) and he mentioned
that he has a number of heads that he'd be happy to sell. FYI, it costs about
$35
to send one UPS Ground from this coast to your coast. Or, I could bring it as a
carry-on in May when we come out for our daughter's graduation from gradual
school
at Northridge.
