Jeff's being way too kind, but yesterday I made the 700 mile round trip
to bring 1407 back to my house. This is the beginning of a dream come
true. Without the members of this list, I literally would not have 1407
right now, so thanks to you all.
Now you'd best get ready for some really stupid questions from me - like
can I used denatured alcohol to clean the playback heads or does it have
to be isoproply?

PS Jeff, if I win the powerball lottery, I'll buy a MK II for your
church...
