I don’t even qualify for a ‘near miss’ here! ;-)<BR>
<BR>
Thanks Luc, I knew you’d know!<BR>
See, this is the perfect example of the kind of knowledge available here!!<BR>
I doubt very much you would get an correct answer, this fast, anywhere else!<BR>

Yes I agree with the majority of the old warhorses on here: Let it remain<BR>
the parent of all...even if it is rarely used.<BR>
It is still a very valuable knowledge-base to me, and even if we do not<BR>
post so often, that does not mean it is forgotten.<BR>
I still would rather ask a question that I have here, then anywhere<BR>
else...thing is, not as many questions arise these days anymore. A direct<BR>
consequence of the enthousiasm and knowledge once instilled with the help of<BR>
this list! Let it live and prosper!<BR>
<BR>
To Peter,<BR>
I am pretty sure the 105 was around before 1993...If memory serves me (a bit<BR>
less then it used to!) I first bought one in 1991...and I guess they were<BR>
available from the mid-eighties onwards...<BR>
Luc Timmermans 'mr. Glenfarclas' may know the exact period of introduction<BR>
better, Luc??<BR>
