Stu, I would love to help you out and Blog about your woes, but you know what will happen. They're going to send you a brand-spanking-new 8700 because of all the great Google Juice that your Blog has and your network of friends. I can't have that. I've been eyeing the 8700 since before it came out. The thought of you getting one for free because of this Blog posting (you KNOW thats what's going to happen) kills me ;) Keep us in the loop. I say we start a poll. Stu gets his new-free 8700 is how many days? My guess is 10.
