Thanks, Stan.  Your comments are very encouraging.  I just paid about US$600
for a 2200 refurb.  I decided on a refurb even though I could have gotten a
new one for only a few dollars more.  I previously heard several comments
that the refurbs are more reliable than the new ones, and I had good luck
with the 1160 refurb I bought for $190.  So I guess I will see soon how much
difference it makes for me.

Thanks again,

Berry
