Hi, David, I guess I did not say things clearly enough - for me, spam is mail I do not solicit, regardless of source. The product looks cool, but I did not authorize anyone to sell my address on the net, any more than I do business with companies who sell my USPS address to mail order firms (without specific authorization). I am glad that they are making charitable donations, but it is rather like the shell game that most state lotteries have become..."Let's help the schools! Only, let's not tell anyone that less than 20 cents on a dollar get there." For $129 - $179 per unit, plus batteries and carrying case, they should be donating a fin, at least. So, I am an old fuddy-duddy. More later.
