No sweat...glad I can be of help to the board. I'm not sure if I uploaded Doc 9 of the Vivitar case to my www.box.net page (I can't access it here at work). If not I'll do it tonight when I get home. Doc 9 is e.Digital's response to Vivitar's Counterclaim. I'll try and paste it below but it may look out of whack.
