Yeah well, as I said in another post I realize I've insulted 90% of 
the fine art community, but that's my opinion.  But the one I really 
hated was the Oriental VCFB, and most people liked that, so maybe my 
tastes are warped. Either way, from all the rumors and rumblings 
we'll most likely both have to choose another fave fairly soon, and 
the choices are dwindling fast. Time to buy a feezer if you don't 
already have one.
