A friend of a friend asked me to test some tubes purchased at a garage sale
for $5. It was a box of NOS WE 101, 102 and 104 tubes in pristine condition,
about 35 in all. He wanted $10 for them but she started to walk away not
knowing what they were worth, how about $5 he yelled. She already has a
buyer for them

nirwana (or nirvana) also means heaven, for the hindus I believe

Well, loosely perhaps. It's certainly considered a desirable
state, so would translate in the Western idiom to "heaven".
But it's important to note the distinction that it is not a
state that is attainable only after death, as is the western
"heaven", but rather can be attained in this life also.
There is no greater freedom than the freedom from desire.

Cheers,
Fred

I thought Nirvana was a band from Seattle. :-)
