That's interesting Adam, but isn't KDS a wholely owned Tiger subsidiary? And 
I'm still angry at Tiger's refusing to take it back, even though it was past 
30 days, because I had been trying to work the problems out with Amquest tech 
support and that's what MADE it take more than 30 days. What it basically 
says to me is that it's tough cookies because I worked so hard to try to work 
the problems out.
