    Thanks for the info, Tom... I guess if I'd thought about it for
    a bit, I would've realized that there are lots of measurement
    applications that require sweep speeds faster than digitizing
    scopes can provide.

    Yeah... Every time I leave the office after working a 20-hour
    day, I think the same thing.
