any idea what is the purpose, function of the 2 openings at 12h and 6h?? Thanks for the great report Karim

I had the pleasure to also meet Mr. Martin Wehrli a few years ago, he seemed to be a very kind and sincere gentleman. He toured our group through the museum with great pride and unlimited knowledge of AP. I really like the fact that Mr. Genta still sports...

As long as you don't try to present YOUR POV as THE ONE. This goes for both pro and con. And no, flames NOT allowed. So which is your favorite of the classics? Cheers, TM
