    Jeff

    I do not feel that it is necessary or desired to do this on each and every
    election. We, the manufacturer, are supposed to set the procedures to follow
    for this equipment since we build it.  It is up to us to tell the customer
    as to what are the recommended procedures to set up an election on our
    equipment.  If the feel that they need to go further then they will have to
    assume the responsibility and the burden of there decision.

    The only other possibility is that Bill Riche finds the QA plus consumer
    version to install on all 100 units now...
    Talk to Bill to see if he can.

    Thanks

    Juan
