Hi Perry,

I have been a long time lurker here. Just wanted to say thank you for
the hard work you put into the book conversion. Thank you for posting it
and mostly thank you for not charging :) So much useful information and
a nice look back at the old days. What happened to that business? About 15
years ago I used go to a batt.rebuilding shop. I think a rebuild car batt
was $25.00. They had new plates and posts and they lasted as long or longer
than a new batt. One day they were just gone... never saw another place
like it since. I wonder if this wouldn't be a good business to get into ?
Thanks again.... Max
