Yep. AT&T had a commercial back in the 80's about nobody ever regretting that they bought the best. Obviously a marketing gimmick to compete with their newly spun off Baby Bells, but it doesn't make it any less true. I absolutely hate cheap equipment. Thankfully most of the crap out there comes from China and since I try to avoid contributing to our already staggering trade imbalance, just not buying Chinese or Eastern European cuts down on junk parts rather quickly.

And I had noted your sig a long time ago and thought of the above commercial.... strange that you should provide an opening to say so. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
