> For all of you who cried when Ten Tec told you *directly* that
manufacture of the Orion  was discontinued and would be replaced with
the Orion II... along with reasons for the discontinuation and
information on the new Orion.

as has been repeatedly explained, you are comparing apples and
oranges.  the lifetime expectation at purchase time for the orion was
vastly different from that of a yaecomwood, both based on the software
upgradeablilty as emphasized by tentec as well as tentec's prior
product history (titan II excepted).  the ft1000mp series, btw, well
outlived the orion - fall 1999 vs summer 2003 to the present.

73, john
