	March 1st is two weeks away, possibly no demo and they want you 
	to commit $95 for an upgrade.  Having owned a vision plus for two
	years I find the black & white capability is fine but color is 
	quite bad.  Unclear from reading what's been announced, exactly 
	what one gets for the additional money.
