Dwight,
In the Boston area you can't touch a livable home for 350K...and I am not thinking mansion here. Condos in S. NH (40 mi. from Boston) are $200K in blue collar towns. Peter "DBogan3220" wrote in message ... Anyone who is on the AP 155 F7 list is also on the list for the new 6 inch Refractor if they should choose go that route that has already been stated on the AP UG newsgroup. Same goes for the MAk list anyone on the Mak list has a crack at all the new Maks there is only one Mak list. Yeah in 1978 you could have bought a Jaegers 6 inch Achromat objective for $325 dollars and you had your choice of focal length's. starting with F5 then F8, F10 and finally F15. Something a lot of people don't know apparently Jaegers was supplying these same objectives for the Unitron 6 inch F15 refractor as I recall you were looking at around $6000.00 for the complete setup the price of a new car at that time. Today you can buy yourself a decent APO that focuses all the colors for 6k and the price of that new car is 30k and I see a lot of 40k and 50k priced cars and SUV's on the way too and from work everyday. People also buy 350k homes and making anywheres from 1500 to 3000 dollar a month house payments too. Of course there are even more expensive properties as well. This is in the Phoenix Ariz area. BTW you are not going to touch a decent home for less than 100k in Phoenix Ariz Clear Skies Dwight L Bogan |
