Well Alec, . . . I guess he was so overwhelmed by the content of your post that he couldn't resist grabing candy from the candy jar like a kid in a candy store. You make excellent points in the post. Well worth stealing for someone like that. There are all kinds in the world. We had a similar thread about six months ago on the general arranger forum in which I tried to sell the advantages of compact flash over CDRW (with little if any success).
