I wish there were auctions for large goodies like that around here.

He, Ig. I read a nasty rumor in Newt's _Lessons Learned the Hard Way_ book today. It said that Cook County Illinoise schools teach in over

200 languages. Tell me it isn't so! Bilingual is expensive enough.

There is a cute benchtop lathe hiding there.

I am in Dupage county, not Cook, and never heard of this.

Looks like it discusses English and Spanish as languages for instruction, and mentions other languages in a transitional program, which I interpret as just helping them get started with English (ie, they do not teach math in Russian).

I'm even more jealous now.

I remember being pissed off every time I got a California ballot with the 28 different translations available. It's probably up to 60 now. I doubt this was what he referred to, but I'll keep digging.

All together now: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! ;)

Thank You, Randy

End Use Certificate. You would have to certify that you are not a spy and that you will not export this lathe without govt permission.

And let me warn you that dealing with the EUC bureaucrats is a real pain in the ass. Do not get me started on this or how they demanded EUCs on some old crap that I bought without EUC and sold without any record.
