I bought a Transporter from Ripcaster. It had problems (see the threads on "Transporter is dead"). The (owner?) of Ripcaster, Jon Nelson responded really quickly and got me a brand new one, whilst arranging for the old one to be picked up. So kudos to him. All in all a very good experience, and I don't live 500 miles away, so... regards, Giacomo -- gbruzzo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gbruzzo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3633 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34313
