Please tell me more about the ts 2000.  Is that the top of the line and who
makes it?  Are you a total and is it very speech friendly?  I'm not going to
build anything.  I have all I can do to make these arthritic fingers type
what I tell them to and tools are getting more difficult to use every day.
I even need a strap wrench to open jars.  Don't get old; it isn't worth it.
