I've even got nine months interest free on a new card, so I don't need to pay for it all at once. The only problem is that I _know_ the Multi Pro (III? - one of the eralier ones is already there) will appear the moment I order this one. Any idea of accessory multi slide feeders? That will be the clincher. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
