Re: "magic box"

["Knapton" <sunday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

I've also played through a harp Commander, (although I don't own one). 
I liked it and I'm sure I'd get a lot of use and value from it.
My problem is the US - New Zealand currency exchange rate.
I'm looking at a minimum of $NZ500.00 ......
If I could buy one locally for 300 bucks I'd buy it.

Yours in anticipation of Christmas
Pete Knapton
