I didn't want to out you, since it was a private email. I've also called IBM, I'm getting the FedEx box tomorrow. I'm going to *hate* going back to my 510 after a week of being spoiled, though, but "if 'twere done, 'tis best done quickly" and all that. The pushover point was stopping by an Elek-Tek to buy the floppies for creating all those diskettes (can you believe they were *out* of floppies?); I checked out the display model of the 560 (they have them for $1299) and saw the difference. I explained to a salesman, who had a tech there look at it, and he was more upset about the quality than I am! As a point of reference, mine was manufactured Feb 97, in case that's the problem period of manufacture or something.
