Ron,
Accidentally hit the enter button before signing off.
Just do what you can to upgrade - the sooner the better. They have specials
all the time and I believe both DS and AOS are tied together when you do the
upgrade. Better check with the sales staff on that.
Just remember me the next time you have to choose your material thickness
setting.
