[1000mp] Key clicks and amps

Sat, 6 Jul 2002 22:30:13 -0400

As is the case with most 'reviews', experience is anecdotal. I've had my
ACOM 2000A for close to two years with no problems at all. Zero. When it was
delivered it was missing one of the umpteen screws holding the case on.
After a call to ACOM it arrived the next day via FedEx! That's service. I
highly recommend it.
