Ed: Thanks very much. Sorry for my previous post and suspicions. by your kind replies, & consistant policies, you have proven that the Rebel company is one of the very best, especially as regards to customer responsivness. I am very much looking forward to Rebel Century in October, which I will definately upgrade to.
