How about a REAL one? That is, have any of you super-capable people tried taking a tired grand and building on a "real" spyder, to see what happened? Okay, okay, I'll go away and tune a spinet!

She pouted and moped, so they gave her a real kitten ... she was very tender with it. Nice poster, should have bought it when I saw it.
