checking into this I heard something about a "run" on these conenctors due
to problems with supplier, but don't really know the story. Does
anybody know what is going on - is this a 2 week delay type problem, or are
we all going to have multiple $50,000.00 jobs on hold for months while we
wait for a handfull of $4 connectors?<BR><BR>Jeff Yago<BR>DTI
