Thanks for the re-assurance, Pat.

Hopefully, the minds    of everyone are now at ease a bit.

i have just checked the AES website and they indicate the TMV71a for 
$399.  There was an asterisk following the price which they say 
indicates an instant coupon with the purchase.  No idea how much that 
is.  I looked for the speech chip and it was, i believe $69.  In the 
legend at the top of the website they say that an asterisk following 
the equipment model number means that when they are gone, they likely 
won't be any more.  That indicator wasn't present so guess we're okay.
I'm home alone - rest of them are out shopping and I have a VISA with 
enough room and God, am I tempted!!!
I need an AES Anonymous meeting!!
Hope this helps.
