As I recall Bertil had posted what he thought they might test next and various alternates were talked about as it was the first time for the K2-450's. It is as I have stated before just MHO. In fact I don't read anything I have said as a critisism of the SSDF. I am just one of the many who look forward to going over the games played by them and appreciate all the hard work and hours of dedication shown by all the testers. Thanks.
