Straight from an authorized dealer. Roger, thank you for the observation which may well be correct. Nevertheless, I must point out that "straight from an authorized dealer" hold no meaning. To wit, "straight from an authorized dealer" in Boston only last week came a statement that the P2002 will *not* be discontinued. Do I believe the Boston dealer? That's another topic. In point of fact, I bought a P2002 a few weeks ago from a NY dealer and heard "straight from [that] authorized dealer" that it's a temporary price decrease. Do I believe that? Not likely. :) My point..? As my father used to drill into me, believe nothing you hear and only about half of what you see. :) rwyble@erols.com Richard J. Wyble
