	If you were in Winnipeg I could show you a couple in person. The schools
got rid of theirs and gave them to the local club. We were given around 40
(most went into the trash) and we have around 20 left. I personally have
five left (and I'm keeping two to experiment on). They are all marked up
and some are pretty scratched up (name of the school and position in the
room etc.).
