Company issued me a 1001SA here (grudgingly taken - I loved my 305S that I had for like 3 years but battery life was getting shorter and shorter). Really primitive compared to my current Casio 2000-1x though, and even new the battery life leaves much to be desired. If there were 3, that would make more models than were ever sold *IN* japan. The 101SA and the 1001SA were the only models sold here. -- David Van Cleef - Engineering Manager dvc@gol.com - Exodus Communications, K.K. dvc@aeug.org - Global OnLine Japan -- "We have forgotten at least two things..." --
