SAT "Ammunition" consider this!

[pianoman]

Dear people,
	Anyone considering the use of a ETD should buy the video demonstration
tape from Dean Reyburn on the use of the Reyburn CyberTuner.  Fatigue
factor can come from other places besides being tired.  Remember how tired
you may be and suddenly something comes along that is different and gives
you genuine pleasure to use it.  It is this renewed fervor about your job
of tuning that doesn't 'reduce' the fatigue factor, the RCT 'gets rid of'
the fatigue factor.  Not only does the RCT do more than any past, present ,
or future SAT, it gives you many more options besides almost unlimited
memory tunings and choices of how you want "your" tunings to sound.  I have
used my RCT since Oct,'97 and after 10 to 15 years of the SAT and the SOT,
believe me your missing something to not get that tape and decide for
yourself.
