I had an RMA on a Maxter when they first popped onto the scene and it was a five day round trip SF-NY-SF. I still haven't figured out how they did it but I ain't complaining. Good service and I've never had another one go bad. The luck of the draw has something to do with it but I really don't know how that works either ??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Education is when you read the fine print.
