I think Gavin meant as a desk. In that, Gavin and I think very much alike. I
paid $165,000 in 1979 for that Series 33 (out of my own pocket). That's the
equivalent of $450,000 in today's money.

I now consider that 33 to be one of the world's most expensive executive
desks and that's what we use it for. I doubt the Prince of Monaco has a desk
that's more expensive, or one with any finer inlaid, simulated wood patterned
Formica that this desk has.
