Tweetys Extends EMS HW 50C Deal

[Terry Neal]

Great posting Bob. I personally thank you for putting this whole issue
into perspective. At least mine. From the information on the
Progressive Industries web site, it seemed to me that they build a
quality product. As you say, there is no perfect solution. This one
seems to be the best available in my opinion. And at a great value.
I'll sleep better for it. Thanks again.
