It'll be another two weeks..."Can't get them through customs..." (they come from Canada) CAlled back in another two weeks... "Sparcom just got delivery of the cards from Epson, they'll be programming them tomorrow, we should hhave them by the end of the week..." Called back again, after still not receiving a card by the day promised..."They found a bug in the multiple equation solver...won't be till mid december." That was several weeks ago. I cancelled my order onthe spot. Loudly. I still intend to purchase one, but they are aware that a lot of people are becoming upset that they advertised a product that won't be out until after they issue their next catalog... Just sharing a story.... -fRiNgE
