Tell me John, what does text from your mediator look like. The reason I ask
is that we have one here (A$4500 ~US$6000) and so far, I have been quite
disappointed with it. I don't believe the quality is even adequate for
output to tape and I am having trouble getting the suppliers to acknowledge
a problem.
