Ned,

Thanks for the info. I don't know who I talked to. I found an (800)
number in a mag once so I've been calling that (800-362-3569), but
they never elaborate on any discussion; it's like pulling teeth to
get them to answer anything. I'll ask for a name next time I check
back with them, unless I have it before Sept!

BTW, I'm anxiously waiting to hear reports on that TBI!
