Im suprised Seth hasnt chimed it as of yet.  He usually frowns on
discussions of replacement AT products.

It must be because of the weekend.  It always cracks me up when we use a
company's mailing list to push a replacement product.  I think the one
difference here is that the product we are trying to replace is going out
to pasture....
