No offense taken, Tom. But, I wasn't talking about price, I was talking
about useablilty. Sure, I could go out and buy myself a new 1.4
gigahertz computer with lotsa bells and whistles, but my lowly AMD 350
mhz system does just fine for what I use it for.
And the same holds true with my OM gear. I could go out and buy an
expensive N*k*n or other system with all the latest bells and whistles,
but for what I use my gear for I probably wouldn't use 500f those bells
and whistles.
So, although my analogy may stink, I think we're in agreement on the
general point... our OM gear is plenty good when compared with the
latest and greatest.
Regards,
Chris
P.S. G'luck on the e-Bay auctions!
