howdy...thanks for the welcome!!

And no I was not aware about the limited life span on the e-ink...d'oh!! and well, just darn...just DARN it...always with the limitiations...

But 10-years if true is not horrible I guess.

I just wanted to come back and add that as I understand OLED's (which could be wrong too) their life span is typically 3-4 years? And this was one of the stumbling blocks in mfg's widely adopting that technology in many applications?
