Could this be set to music? "...and an MX in a pear tree" Personally, I've only got 1 LX (can't justify a second one right now) so the plurals thing isn't a problem. Perhaps an "XLence of LXs"? I've got a "lot" of Spotmatics, which is as good a plural term as any. I'm trying to find ways to keep it from being a "shelf" of spotmatics. And I've got 3 F3's which is more than enough to qualify as a "burden" of F3s! DJE
