Oh great. These guys buy a 1000 for $1500 5-6 years ago, and C= think they 
owe then something. 2 years ago, they all swapped their keyboards for a 2000
and then bought the worlds supply of replacement 2000 keyboards, and now the
get to have a 3000 as well for next to nothing. Can't wait for the great
market in replacement manual covers!
