The reason I never bought it is the same reason I can't buy it now. My finances need to clear up. That''s what I was waiting on, and I was getting close. I had finally paid off my credit card this month; almost have my tax situation under control. In another month or two my car would be paid off, and then I would be in a situation where I could invest $500 in such a device. But I'm not there yet. I was looking forward to the day when I could get one though. Very sad.
