Thanks Vince,

That's what I thought too, except in practice I got the opposite of what I
expected and even asked for.  Now that the lease is signed, I can't do much
except bring new business elsewhere.  I wish it were easier to actually get
information on these products, and compare them but oh well.

We've got a Konica Minolta Bizhub that we're happy with.  Please give me a
call.  I'd like to get some numbers about costs/options.
