Sure, I feel the same way, but any port in a storm and all that. Woz and I are friends on Facebook, so I sent him a brief message letting him know the issue we're having and asking if he would be willing to share any insight he might have, so we'll see where things go. Worst-case, I get no response and we're left in the very same state we're at right now, so there's really nothing to lose.
