Very cool. > Great. As an aside I will mention that when we bought our "Demo" TDS2024B the "B" model had only been out for a month or two. After the salesperson offered the "Demo" avenue to get us interested, they told us that we would have a 2 to 5 month wait for a demo unit because there were none available. I went online and found that they had 5 "Demo" units warehoused in Georgia. So I said, whaadya mean ya don't have any? Online it says you have 5 in a warehouse in Georgia. They had to double check. Suddenly they had 1 available and I had one in my hands 3 days later. I really think someone screwed up and the units were intended to be demos. The unit we received appeared new in the sealed Tek box and did not have so much as a blemish. It still had the little sticky transparent limited lifetime warranty sticker on the display. I think we got lucky and really got a new one that was supposed to be issued as a demo! -- Mark -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
