Thank you very much for letting me know that. My GW dealer is under the impression that you cannot, that you're limited to only certain models for use as the SmallTalk. I'll get with him again about this.
Do you think you could convince sales to post the spec of the latest (most powerful) Oqo model as one of the SmallTalk options on the web site? I could use that to aid me in documenting my purchase. thank you.
