Now, the real question is, do you pass this on to future generations someday, or demand to be buried with it?
Ah, cool another owner.

Your comments are right on target although given that I have had my for only a couple of days. Same as you I thought I would first go for the AP and decided it would be best to get this one.

Since my wife knows how much it costs chance are since I will go first, I am only taking care of it for the next generation.
