        Not very--but then again you probably don't want things bouncing
around either.  :-)

        I don't recall paying *that* much for it, but yes, I got it.  Is it
worth it?  Hmmm...maybe.  Its neat--it has a little compartment for all your
701 pieces.  I find that convenient.  Trouble is that I rarely use it for
what it was designed for--I don't carry it around much.  Mostly just used to
hold my 701 parts in a good place at home.

        I'd like to see it myself.  E-mail me if you find anything out not
posted to the TP List.

	Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"
The best answer--based on in-depth analysis of the complex and subtle
interplay of thought, instinct, and emotion that constitutes the male
psyche--is that deep in their souls, men want to watch stuff go 'bang'.
