- According to the packing slips (and packaging) "straight from the
- factory". But, like my pappy always says,
-
- "Only Fools are sure."
-
- So, yah, I guess I'm sure...
-
- But, I might add, that this did not turn out to be much more than
- a slight hassle. I figured out the passwd on the second try. (The
- first try the stupid caps-lock was on.)
-
- I passed this on to the local sales office (Denver) at the time
- (bout a year ago) and they, as equally suprised as yourself, said
- they would pass it on...
