Will keep everyone posted, once I get my TS480, Eric.

Now, what I have to do is decide whether to keep hanging in there for the 
local dealer to come through with the order, or just do everything through R 
and L, HRO, or AES.

I think I'm going to give the local guy a call tomorrow, and see what's 
hhappening or not happening, whatever the case might be.
