Update after a year in the queue

We never know how long these shows stay in the queue. This one took a year to come out. Not good or bad - just an observation. So here's an update on the progress.

The Phone is still working fine as a backup device.
Someone stole my free time so haven't had as much chance to use the RIGOL but it's also a lot nicer to use when I have.
Both desks are still going strong and I would recommend it to anyone..
