        There are people out there with real money. Boeing has sold 10 BBJ's
        (Boeing Business Jets 737) at 50 million a pop... half to private
        individules. Biz jet sales are up 39% last year alone.

Boeing has also sold two GE90 powered 777's as Bizjets!! At least one has
been delivered to Lufthansa for fitting out. It will receive another skin
inside to completely sound proof it. The customer is some Saudi. Makes a BBJ
seem affordable.

The Saudi's have fuel to burn :-)

Mark please do me a favor and turn off whatever is placing all those
blank spaces in your messages if you can. 
Probably set left margin to zero in quoted messages.
