        Due to a stroke of luck (or something along those lines) the place
where I bought my MD player from advertised that they would let you "Trade
up" your player within 2 years (given, you pay for the extended warantee
replacement) and receive the _full purchase price_ of your player towards
a new one.

        This place is getting the MZ-90 very soon.  Should I drop the
extra $100 or $150 and replace my F70 with this unit?  And can it handle
automarking my digital source correctly?

        Thanks for info again...

        Whips and Kisses,
