Thanks for your reply. Actually, I've posted a few questions and rarely get a response even after several weeks. I needed feedback on this question quickly though or I loose the opportunity to purchase the unit.<br><br>
I don't believe those posts have anything to do with my question but you never know. They'll be a good reference should I run into issues.<br><br>Thanks, Mark.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
