Hi:
     What is the problem with the Arkenstone?
     I am no expert, but have messed with them on different machines,
and had no problems yet.  Sure, they are not perfect, but the Kurzweil
isn't either, and i"ver had the same experience there.  Some machines
are just a pain in the chips, while others aren't.  Compaqs are
sometimes just about impossible to use with the VTech DP11, but that
doesn't make either machine a waste.  Personally I like the Arkenstone,
my experence is that it is easy to use, works well enough for the price,
and I haven't had the lightbulb burnout yet.  If it does, call the
company who sold it, and make them fix it.  If you didn't buy the
maintenance contract, well figure the lightbulb problem out yourself.
Question, how helpful is Kurzweil with no maintence contract?  I haven't
found out yet.
