To celibrate the 200 number on this list, I'll introduce myself. I work at the Patent Office in Wash., DC, and I specialize in transmissions for automobiles, trucks, etc, bith manual and automatic. I decide who gets a patent in this little area. I've been here 15 years. I'm 37 years old, divorced with one daugther, about to be married again. I'm looking into to purchasing a squareback someday, to replace an aging hyundai that I can't seem to sell (value is dropping like a stone). I hate the car for severla reasons, one of which is that there are several jobs I can't do myself because they require a bunch of specail tools that I don't have. I like old german cars because they are high quality, simple, easy to maintian, and parts are relatively cheap. I was going to get another BMW (a bavaria), but I think I want a squareback instead. **************************************************************************** Dirk Wright wright@pioneer.uspto.gov 1971 BMW 2002 "I speak for myself and not my employer." 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 "A real hifi glows in the dark and has horns." 1965 Goodman House ****************************************************************************
