True, but I was rather interested in your reaction to the lesser features
of the Sportster after having used the Courier for so long.  Apart from no
33k6 connects, I doubt your callers would have picked the difference
anyway.

Good to hear, although I'd have expected nothing less.

What, are you telling me that the extra $200 for the Courier is NOT worth
it?  You've been hanging around Paul for too long, I think.  :)
