Oh and one other thing!
When I was trying to "justify" the expense to the Minister of Finances, one thing struck me as I was sitting in the kids rumpus room contemplating
blowing $1500 on a telescope..............
Well, not exactly one thing, more like;
Xbox 360 = $500
Nintendo Wii = $400
Playstation 2 = $400 (at the time)
81cm LCD TV to play these on = $1500
and over (wait for it) 100 games @ $80-100 dollars EACH = $8000 -$9000 !!!!!!!!!
And I said: "stuff this, I am buying a 12" telescope TODAY!!!"
and then I went and asked my wife

......
Cheers
