[sac-forum] Re: The curse of the new equipment

Dan, actually that is what I did when ordering the 8".  Unfortunately the hand 
controller went casters up and a new one was sent.  It was received yesterday 
(hence the snow in Glendale per Jimmy; but rain a few miles to the NW).  It 
does work but will need more than testing in my computer room - like out at a 
new site!!!

Clear skies,
aj
