    So you only support it in the sense that if someone has an issue, you try to help them find a work-around ? You mean you stop making patches and fixes of known problems or found bugs?

    Thanks much! Not sure if I'll buy it or not though. Just a tad pricey for me, but probably worth it.

    I heard that someone was making a dust shroud system with magnets for attaching the brushes. Does anyone know who that is?
