Re: [ATM] front surface mirrors for binoculars

["David Harbour" <scarab2@cox.net>]

To all:

My hand is resting on my Logitech thumball mouse, which is resting on one of 
the boxes that contains one of the two identical Perkin Elmer 7.47" major 
axis by 6.88" minor axis by .69" thickness Perkin Elmer rectangular front 
surface flat mirrors I bought from Gary Hand. I've had them for years. They 
are not paying me any rent. What should I do with them? They are in PRISTINE 
condition.

I am working on my last and most important ATM project. It will be for you 
guys, and it will be for free, digitally, and will be available in other 
media on disc (other than HTML email installments).

The flats do not figure in to the project, and it is indeed my last atm 
project. What should I do with them? My ordinary plate glass mirror in the 
bathroom is entirely sufficient for shaving, etc.

P.S.-Yeah, I'm back. Mostly been lurking, but thought about these mirrors as 
you guys kept posting about flats for binocs.

Will you guys be able to endure me on the list, AGAIN? I hope so. Because I 
like you guys, and I wanted to come back.
