I will give it a chance and try to use it often. Maybe I will learn to use it properly. Glenn
I wasn't impressed either, when I finally saw one in person. I thought I had to have one, mostly from the hype and hysteria. I'm over it now. :roll:

I am happy for those who love their featherweights. I'd rather find a 99 or a 301 for a lightweight portable, myself.
