Re: [AGA SC] New AGA Pamphlet

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Well, let's ignore the fact that I'm at home using a diff
monitor and printer. But the second one seems easier to
read.

Flowers are diff color for some reason on the little TAG
cover.

I think the Hofteizer tank is a gothic construction and I
don't mean that in a nice way. Bilateral symmetry, no eye
movement, dead center target. Sorry folks. I've held my
tongue since Nov but I just can't do it anymore. Not when I
have to look at it for another 2 years.

But the pamphlet cooks otherwise.
