But anyway, a beautiful system concept that probably appealed more to European tastes. My one hesitation was the bandwagon syndrome. It didn't look like much would be available here, especially in rental and service. That part turned out correct. You must be awfully young to know and remember so much or so old you don't have anything else to do. I'm in that limbo ground where I can't remember what I can't remember. Thanks for the poke in the brain. Donal Philby San Diego
