- You, and several others, have stated 'that the manual is wrong'. I'd like
- to rephrase it as 'the wording in the manual could have been better'. I
- understand, that CBM has had plans to MAYBE sell a cheaper 'Aec4000', note
- that this does not mean, they're going to, just that they will not in
- advance exclude the opportunity from their choices. The wording in the
- manual then makes it possible to ship this manual with the above mentioned
- beast. To spell it out once more, if the above wording ever comes into use,
- the book will be shipping in a box with the clear wording 'Aec4000'.
-
- This was not meant as a flame, only my two cents, from what I've read
- in magazines.
