Jim:

Don't hold your breath or anything, because I'm incredibly busy here, but 
one of these days, I may just check into 3976 to hear what a TS480 sounds 
like.

I can't guarantee when it will be--probably on a week-end because I work 
during the week, but I'll see what I can do here.

Tell the 3976ers that I say hello.
