(Which incidentally, I have finally acquired...with pain and much money).  I hope that if I jump early this time I will find one on ebay for a reasonable amount.  Or perhaps some friend going will take pity on me. To sweeten the pot...or pour lemon juice on the wound (i cannot decide which), Integrity will be releasing Gli...
