Bill, thanks for taking a look. I was over the "other side" quite often 
in the early 80s helping on E_W exchanges of pop/rock/jazz bands, it 
really was a very foreign country, I remember looking at the (lack of) 
stuff in shop window displays and then later being invited to a central 
Berlin hotel for dinner by some TV and radio people - purest luxury.(and 
being followed all day by suspicious looking blokes in a Wartburg)
Some were really more equal than others.But, if you look at today's 
Berlin the Ossies really did have all  the best bits.
