It's quite obvious what MM is doing. It's not that uncommon for a competing manufacturer to offer a "trade in" (usually working, though) offer for competing products.
This is how I see it:
1. A customer posts that there's something wrong with Manufacturer "A"'s product.
2. Manufacturer "A" posts exorbitant repair fees. (Really? A tec replacement/calibration for 95+S/H?) and even suggests customer buy a whole new unit. :scowl:
3. Manufacturer "B" knows the customer is feeling ripped off by Manufacturer "A", thus steps in to try to win the customer's business by offering a trade.
It's a win-win for everyone but Manufacturer "A", but that's how business works.
bloompyle, maybe you should do a bit of research
the only thing to really copy would be the outside shell and part of the electronics-
but, uhm, well......

...yeah.
The only thing left to copy is the software, and it really isn't worth the time to reverse engineer it. it'd be faster and cheaper to develop a new one in the first place.
