Hmm. Should I file this in my "Mail for James Cameron the director" folder, wherein are kept the fan letters and various offers from actors and actresses keen to enter the fray? Rhetorical question. ;-) Obligatory PIC: someone saw my 12C509-JW and said "didn't know manufacturers still used brazed plate quartz windows." Most other chips seem to have the window flush with the ceramic top. Why are my JW's different? Are yours?
