  I made a mistake - in my rush to clear out the garage and schedule 
pick-ups, I gave the
Alpha to someone else who I assumed was Rob. My apologies Rob, if the 
guy who got
it (I'm not good with noting/remembering names) doesn't need it, please 
let me or Rob
know and I'll arrange to deliver it.  Also if I see other Alpha gear 
around I'll let Rob know.
