I trust your judjement and believe that you probably had very little choice,
I know whose side you're in.

I would second and encourage suggestions to vendors about both merchandise
and pricing.

Not with that guy :(

I lokked very hard at the 1501 nice machine and very attractively priced but
I already have 2 1500 and didn't want to deprive someone else from the joys
of ownership.
I loved the VCF and hope to be able to make it to many more.
Last but not least and I guess you probably don't hear it often enough
THANK YOU for starting a series of events that I hope will gain momentum.
Vive les VCFs
