- Sportsters are made by the consumer division at USR. The Couriers on the
- other hand are made by the Corporate divis. Make sure you bitch about

- customer support. They are the most helpfull bunch you'll find this side
- of Supra's tech support (nice bunch over there. too bad their modems
- suck). So the line below should read:
- "A WARNING to anyone considering purchasing a USR "consumer grade model"
- product" instead of the way it does read.
