Harvey,

Don't have one myself but from everything I've heard they are very good 
and the company is quite reliable.
I think there was a review of these in GS+ magazine.
BTW if you don't subscribe to this magazine you should, 1-800-662-3634. 
They publish a great combination magazine and disk and provide very good 
reviews and technical articles as well as providing original programs, 
utilities, DA's and other things you find enhance your GS to do amazing 
things.
BTW I don't work for them but I do support them.
