it was a nice idea but in my opinion quite premature and too x-pensive,now If you wanna buy expensive equipment to have to find work arounds and wait for upgrades that adress basic stuff that other cheaper devices do it,i surely wont. The thing for me is not worth the money at the moment.I spent over a month trying my best with this thing,making calls to the U.S. and even sent a supportive email of hope but at the end i relaized it wasnt gonna happen any time soon. i also lost the shipping as Mark did and had to mail them a few times to get the dow back.Sarah was very supportive though bad mistake bringing it to europe without letting it mature first,learned my lesson for good. Im lucky i recently found a PMC10,for 80.00dlls is not that big and it works great and does just about everything one can ever need Ah yes some people have all the luck and dont have to pay for their equipment. Which makes us just wining morons;-) Luis On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 10:17 PM, mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com> wrote: > On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 4:13 PM, William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com> >wrote: >> Anyone but me seeing the irony here?
