Just and update to this thread.....I pasted it in an email to Magma asking for
a response to why this is the way it is.....glad to see I'm not the only one a
bit annoyed at the design flaw.....but I'd guess there reply will be..."oh
sorry for our ignorance...here is a free hat".....LOL

this digresses to issues of product liability (which IMO the US is famous for
passing blame for stupidity of consumers back to the manufacturer)....but, for
me, I wonder if next years model can be "new" improved" and a price raise
etc...another scamish tactic of manufacturers....why not say, "our first design
was in error and our consumers showed us an improvement"....I think this add to
the consumer confidence thingy that politician talk about......all's I know is
this...I am gonna survive this mess.....
