- In my opinion the hinge ages well. It will/should never fail and will get
- QUITE loose. Mine is comming up on 6 years any day now, and has had NO
- problems.

- As far as disassembleing the 28 goes...take off all the lables on the
- keyboards, get a drill and have a good time. It was sealed shut by melting
- small posts on one side of the case down flat against the other half. Only way
- in is with a small drill bit, and only way out is with glue. NOT recomended.
-
- I have debated a 48 for quite some time. I am by far too proficient with the
- 28 to really want to change. Although they are VERY nice.....
