Do these things even work?  I have seen nothing but complaints
about them.  They apparently have a very low MBTF.  The guy
selling them at J&R Music World in Manhattan actually recommended
the Sharp Wizard to my boss since they had a lot of complaints
about Portfolios failing.  What experiences have you had with
this thing?
