Thompson seedless grapes aren't really very good, but when their standard price was roughly the same as bananas I'd buy them. When the workers started getting paid more the price went up to roughly the same as peaches. Decades went by before I bought grapes again, and then only rarely -- they still aren't very good. Some things just aren't worth more than they already cost. -- Cheers, Bev /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ When cryptography is outlawed, only outlaws will qwertzuio asdfghjk pyxcvbnml -- M.
