I am toying with the idea of taking my machine. Problem is, though, I am also a full-time firefighter, and would have to hire someone to run my machine at least part of the time. Right now I have a 1993 9600, but am just about to sign the deal on a 9610. I have two real good jobs here in NC Oklahoma, and possibly a good job down at Altus, OK. Please e-mail me and let me know what you think. My address is pjronck@kskc.net Thanks.
