Let me make sure I understand this--are you saying perhaps you and a group of someones would subsidize having this upgrade done one someone's personal 701 in exchange for full and complete information about the real-world performance differences? If so, I'd seriously consider having it done to my 701 if that is the case. I'm not so attached to it that its a religion for me. All you have to do is get enough people who want the information bad enough that they're willing to pay for it in this fashion--and then implement a mechanism for collection and control. ------- Randal J.
