Well, perhaps we should explore that a bit. I know that's a long  
while back, but can you recall what you intended to do with the  
digitizer and why you didn't actually do that? If your missing  
digitizer magically showed up on your desk this afternoon with  
software that worked with your current favorite OS, would you bother  
to open the box?
