I'm not being sarcastic when I say that you are truly the first person with
whom I have spoken who hasn't bin burned by RS.  Every time I say to myself

lose!!!  I'm definitely not rich; I just can't stand having to purchase
things twice because the original one from RS goes away right after the
warranty.
