Dear Wolf, ouch... that hurts ! ;-) Actually I should have rephrased that to "the lousy FEW SwissFrancs we get in exchange these days". Referring to the amount rather than the SwissFranc itself, which as you well know I dearly love ;-) Its just hard to find ourselves at rockbottom (I hope) right now. When I whined recently to my sister in Riehen regarding the miserable exchange for EURO's (right now a puny EU 37.-- for $ 50.--), she had no sympathy. "What do you think we've been paying for it all along in SFr. !" I should have horded some EUROs when they started out at $ 1 for one EURO. Hanneli PS. I can always count on your calm voice of reason, Wolf.
