Aren't I a lucky bastard??

Well, seems like the e-mail program I was trying out makes a big mess
of my messages, so, sorry to everyone who received a big mess - so,
here's my last message again:

Well, there I was - working away in the same dreary room I have for
the past couple of years.

I'm an editor in a TV newsroom, and I placed my script in the same
place I have every day for the past couple of years - on top of this
now unused record player that sits next to me.

I went back to staring at the monitor when it hit me!! `What the hell
is *that*??' I cried, ripping my script away from on top of the record
player.

Sure enough, sitting there was an almost unused Technics SL-1200MK2 !!

`Oh' I thought `this useless piece of junk is just taking up valuable
space. Maybe I should suggest to the boss that we get rid of it'.

So, I did just that. And the boss agreed! And, being the kind-hearted
guy that I am, I said *I* might have a bit of use for it at home, and
offered him $50 for it.

`Just take it' he said `Don't worry about paying for it'

`OK' I said.

So, I'm now the proud owner of an SL1200 that's seen about 2 hours of
use in its life!

Oh.......my mistake......I said *one* SL1200.....What I *meant* to say
was *FOUR* SL-1200s.

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

And here's me - not a DJ, and with no desire to become one!

Needless to say, the `For Sale' ad is already up in the local record
shop, and a picture of an Akai sampler is now glued to my computer.
Merry Christmas!

Oh, isn't life wonderful??

Marc.
