very clever!
to be honest, i would not have the nerve to walk into a local electronic's store
and act as if i were bored as all get out and just plunk down the computer,and
say fighting  back a yawn..so..when will you have it back to me?
:))

in all seriousness though..was it the board itself that was defective or the
program module ?
the Mephisto boards are easier to fix then the actual program module and as you
know the Mephisto Exclusive board is still being sold and serviced by
Saitek\Mephisto
