Yeah, I am usually very careful with my hard-earned money. Unfortunately there are a few rotten people in this industry, sadly a prime example comes to mind of a "sad sac" right here in Florida. Rick however, is absolutely a person you can trust in my opinion. I didn't think twice when Jian told me to send my payment to Rick. Just curious, did you get a power supply with the new setup? I wouldn't mind setting up both scan heads and doing a side by side compairison, though, if it doesn't come with a supply, then the old DT-40 will probably just get shelved...He PM-ed me to say that it would be Monday before he would have units ready to ship, but I knew I could trust him so I went ahead and paid in advance. (Come to think about it, I did the exact same thing last year with Rick Gebhardt when I ordered my original DT-40's and my Alphalite.) They're just cool like that. (I don't trust just anyone with advance payments like that!)
