I will agree here with you Gav because you are the expert when it comes to boards etc.

Three questions.

1. what will JJP use with WOZ ?
2. if the replacement cost is low from Stern/Sterns agents for these computer boards, does that make it OK to go with the design of the boards they have, or is this just a cost cutting exercise.
3. If the current design of a Stern is well made, which looks the case to me, is it fair to say most items in a home market environment will last 10 years. Therefore, is it only the operators who shld have the occassional hassle ?
