When I bought my 590, the Denver hro store said they would not install
the board. I called universal and they installed it with no extra
charge. I've since talked to the manager of the Denver store and he
said he would do such things for me in future purchases. THey should,
this year besides other stuff I've purchased a 990 and an alpha 9500.
wofoofff!!!
