I picked one of these (1300XL) up refurbished, and I was concerned, as well, but reading of the source and handbook *seems* to indicate that the "rogues" are devices which implement non-standard feature sets (like not having certain features). I believe they are generally competent at storing and retrieving data. If that's not the case, I'd love to know--I still have a few days to return it for a refund. :) -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
