It takes a lot of personal integrity to deliver a public apology. Hats off to Mike for being a stand-up guy. Something this world could use more of. Michael Taylor Colorado

Okay, so I called it a piece of garbage. That was based on two basic facts: 1) It was ridiculously user-unfriendly. 2) Customer support was friendly but unhelpful. I now wish to publicly apologize. Two nice people at Agilent, Ms. Cathy Kirk and Mr. Mike Medley, have invested considerable time and effort on my behalf. I now have an analyzer that is much less user-unfriendly. And Customer Support, as represented by these two people, has done a tremendous job of diagnosing and resolving my issues. Best of all, the new firmware has added a bunch of features that I will no doubt find useful some day.
