I am sorry for the trouble some of you had trying to contact me but the
server I subscribe to was off of the air for the last three days.  The
address you have for me is still good.

Oh, I had better mention shells or risk someone's ire.  How about shell
cabinets.  I recently purchased an old metal filing cabinet for computer
cards (remember those?).  It has 20 drawers that pull out in pairs but
can be pulled completely out of the cabinet individually.  We spent half
of today cleaning it (a bit of rust and a lot of grime) and tomorrow I
will paint spots that really need it.  For less than $100 I believe this
will make a really nice shell cabinet.  I found three other similar ones
at different antique/treasure/junk dealers.  One was by Remington and
must have weighed 250 pounds empty!  The others were more reasonable.  So
if you need a cabinet and can't/don't want to spend $400 to $700; maybe
this is an alternative available in your area.  Good shelling.
