Well, now I know that our 4D/20 that arrived today (May 1) is running
release 3.1 Rev C.  Should this upset me?  Should a brand new machine
arrive with Rev D?  More simple (maybe :-), what are the big differences
between Rev C and Rev D?  (While I have been reading this group for a
while, it is only today that the difference seems important.  Funny how
a new machine will get ones attention.)

Thanks,
Dennis
