Toyota,what are your opinions on this,,
I don't have it at hand now, but I remember Dave Gerr's book "The Nature of

P.S.
How do we upload pictures into these posts?
We don't. Many news servers strip them from all newsgroups not specially
marked as binaries. Better find a website where you can post your picture,
and send a link here.
