[TenTec] The ORION II sure makes me happy

[Wilson, Russ]

This is my first post:  Regardless of some opinions on this reflector, I
too ordered an Orion II.  I was at TT last week while on my 28th
honeymoon ;-) ;-)  ;-) and played with their office demo...  Truly
impressive!!!  I will continue to receive this reflector because some of
these posting are actually WELL worthwhile.     Some folks here are very
professional & courteous and have faithfully answered questions.  As
such & if for no other reason - this reflector has substantial merit
toward that end.  The insights offered are truly appreciated by myself
and I suspect, many others...

de W8KI,
Russ

I am also dropping the reflector.  I have an Orion II on order and after
a few days of the reflector I thought I had made an error in ordering
the thing.

As we now say in this part of the world adios amigos.
