Hey Brent,

Yeah - the DSE problem that you saw is the exact same problem that I've 
been seeing so far too.

Ok - if/when I go to the Featherston St DSE store this arvo, do you think I 
should ask somebody at the counter how many flyers they've got left behind 
the counter?

The following paragraph that you put in your last e-mail that read "If 
anyone passing a DSE could just pop in & check it is running & fire it up if
not, may be as good as we get at this stage." was the exact thing that I 
was/am planning to do.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Jeremy Naylor.
