As I said yesterday at 2:03PM

"If you plan to keep the car, I would suggest having it professionally converted to R-134. You probably won't notice the slight loss of efficiency in your climate (Boston)."

Perhaps you could come up with something original?

Now, it's time to move on to something more productive.
Obtaining an EPA license = you become a licensed technician = no fraud.
The government has not yet taken away our right to work on our own cars.

When you can buy R12, and service the A/C system yourself, there is no reason to convert to R134.
