Brett -

While we're thinking about stuff...where do you suppose most of the
components inside the P3 were manufactured?

Regarding support...I don't know...HP (hardware) and Microsoft (OS)
seem to have pretty large websites with lots of information on
them...and plenty of updates...especially Microsoft security patches
that they so like to dump on us every few Tuesdays.  :-)

Yeah, Elecraft support is excellent, but the flip side is that the
company has a tendency to sell products that are not quite ready yet.
I know; my first K3 was delivered 9 months after it was first
promised.
