Sorry Viesturs,

Humor oftentimes gets lost between languages ..
In the USA, at least in the upper central region, a "midnight auto 
supply" is a slang term for a supplier of stolen auto parts.
Consequently my reference to a "midnight machine sale" since I thought 
you obtained the machine at a very very low price...
It was a joke.. nothing serious..

Dave
