Not so, I have personally visited with the auther of the post you are refering to for 5 days by email. I have over 5 pages of details on her machine, its use and her interactions with Mr Ellis. I asked her for input and got it. I believe her 100%. When I can afford to purchase one, I intend to do so. Just for kicks, do a search on ebay and see if anyone has one for sale!!! I have been looking for some time now and guess what? No one wants to sell theirs (on ebay). To the rest of the readers, If you have a $2800 used machine you would like to sell, let me know on this forum, I check it regularly.
