[meteorite-list] Wayback Machine for Meteorites

Tue Aug 26 04:49:15 EDT 2008

Hi Paul, 
        VERY cool! However, I do know that I had NO photos in my first
website and the one below has a photo of the MBC-10 AND the famous
"Tobin Polarascope Adaptor" which came much later. (Unfortunately,
These are no longer available as Jim can't get a supply of linear
Polar lenses - they are all now circular). Still, yoiur memory is
undoubtedly better than mine which I lost to Mad Cow (Denny Crain)
years ago.
        I remember that crazy "tick-tock" exclamation point! Too cool.
        Best wishes, Michael
