Steve,

I emailed the seller (I love rattling cages) and asked him why the case says
Voice Challenger if it is a Super 9.  I asked him to tell me what the model was
on the label on the bottom.  I also asked him why he couldn't test it even if he
didn't have any pieces.  There is a bit of the electrical cable in the back of
the unit that can be seen in the pictures.

He emailed me back and only said that he didn't have the entire cable and power
supply, so he can't test it.  He made no mention of the model number or the
misnaming of the computer.

So I emailed him again with a more pointed and direct question about how he has
misnamed this computer.

As of yet, no further answer from him.  :-)

Not Holding My Breath Regards,

Dick Schneiders
