	I've never had a Volvo, but I can pronounce the "e" as "uh" for my
Dodge-uh, which is up to 426 thousand miles with the original motor. 
	The Delta that I got from Woodworker's Supply when they were first
introduced was the same way....  it put up with my TLC and all the abuse
that several hired hands could heap on it. Cut through anything I wanted it
to, with a decent 1/2 inch blade. Plenty versatile, and easy to get parts,
etc.
	That was almost twenty years ago, and my dad still uses it in his garage.
