<HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> 20 years= ago my daughter had a Honda Aero 80 scooter.  When she got= her car, I kept the scooter "just for fun".  One day my car= was in the shop so I took the scooter to an appointment in a= nice section of town.  I didn't look dweebish - I didn't= look that good!  Those people never called me back.  I= did take it to the bank once and went through the drive-in= lanes.  My kids bring that incident up 20 years= later!  I'm sure I'll hear about it when I'm 90. = If you want one, get it for fun.  I know using= it for work is a handy rationalization, but just buy it for fun= and enjoy it.  Do be careful though!!!!!!!!! dave<FONT= face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"> __________________________________________ David M.
