Greetings all,
 As most of you know, the latest Hammer slammed through
the roof of a house in Zunhua, China on April 12, 2008. This material
has been very hard to get and prices have soared in China. I
have some stuff I got early enough to offer it to list members at
prices you can not even get it for in China any more! I have just
cut it, so part slices are now available.
        However, there is also a minor tail of woe:
         I have a web site provider (with whom I am not happy) - I was
already paying $250/yr to get aprox. 2% of what I have found out I
can get for under $120 per year. He has, for the second time cheezed
out of yet, another $30, (for using too much bandwidth" though, as
I said, it is about a fiftieth of the normal bandwidth one gets for
half the price) having charged an additional $30 only a few weeks
ago, and then didn't even give me enough time to PayPal him and
he has shut down my web site! It should be "up" soon (tomorrow?)
but then, again, it should never have been "down."
        I will soon have a decent provider - but will be able to retain
the same URLs.
       In the mean time, You all can see my newly cut Zunhua at:
