Thanks Bill, The thing is that on 9th. March technicsplayer ( Alex ) posted that the TechManager 7001 will be available in due course, I assumed that this would mean we would be able to purchase it in the U.K. or even the U.S.A. but to have to go to Taiyo or some other place on the continent, beats me, I can't read or speak German, it seems that as usual we are always last in line for any updates, I tried Technote but all they could offer was a TecManager 7000 at a slightly reduced price, can anyone please help with this Thanks Johnny Barr.
