   Clive,
Excusez moi!
I agree with your comments to Bernard up to one point:
For us also this is not a concern , but a sad reality.
Equipment i being infested, eaten and killed by termites in Indonesia or
Costa Rica,
and I would like to know if somebody else encountered this problem and
what measures were taken without influencing (seriously) the reliability
or the cost of the equipment.
A bientot
Gaby
