I feel really silly now because I thought I was responding on the Honduras
Living Yahoo group. The archives that I mentioned are on that list, although
there has probably been some discussion on this list, too. Also, the price

probably too detailed for the Travel group since most of you traveling won't
be buying refrigerators here. ;-)
Sorry for my confusion!
