Whoa!  A Durst desk??  It just gets better and better...

If it's the same build quality as their LF enlargers, I'm sure it was :}

A pity -- it sounds like such a wonderful thing.  Are you *sure* you don't
need a new house?  Maybe you could just raze the garage, and replace it with
a purpose-built darkroom/studio building...something with 15' ceilings, and
a *very* sturdy foundation.  You could use the Durst-desk as a very funky
desk-desk in the lobby :}

Hmm?  I don't follow, Clive

Absolutely!  Even my buddies who have no darkroom experience love the feel
of the knobs; there's something quintessentially appealing about a
well-crafted tool, at least to guys....

I recently heard about a study done on just that: the change in time
perception as we age.  It seems that by the time we're forty, time seems to
rip by at something like 1.2 to 1.4 (I've forgotten the exact figure) times
as fast as we did when we were twenty.  Jeeze, I gotta retire *now*, before
it's too late!
