Thanks, Helen! Glad to hear you still love your T-3; yours is always an opinion to be taken seriously.
I had thought of getting a T-3 in spite of Sony's abandonment, but with no recourse if something went wrong with it, plus all the talk of Adobe mucking about with their DRM, it all seemed to have too much potential for hassle. I'm sure the vast majority of the T-3s are now and will be perfect for a long time; my husband got a T-1 at the same time that I did and his is still working flawlessly. However, I know my luck - if I got a T-3 it would probably self-destruct once I crossed the border
I won't dare look at them when we come up this summer - too much temptation!
