Does anybody have any good recommendations concerning short-wave radios? cu's last report was several years ago. Many years ago when I spent a summer in germany I had a much appreciated radio-shake cheepy, but it has since been ripped off. What's good these days? 2. I am thinking about buying a car over there. Does anybody know how this works? has anybody done it before? are there names of firms you have dealt with? How does it compare to buying a car over here? thanks. tim budd, dept. of cs, the univ. of arizona. noao!arizona!budd
