Cees,

Regarding the SL-5500:
Not sure if you saw this, but yesterday on Slashdot, someone pointed to
the HSN and a coupon on dealnews.com that would allow you to get a SL-5500
for US$170, brand new.  Which is quite cheap.  Not sure if you can take
advantage of that where you are, though.

Regards,
Aaron
