Congratulations on finally acquiring one Jim! You of all people I know are deserving of such historical masterpiece! For many it's just a tool but for others it represents more and that's his dedication of blood sweat and tears. I'm glad Shigeyoshi received Gold price for excellence. It was indeed long overdue. When you get chance please provide review. Thanks mate
