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..
