I just paid the fees and UPS get 1% on top of that lol keep hitting me i love it.

Its cleared now and i hope to be up and rolling by the weekend, if not i will have to use the old machine, i have an order here for a set of 57 strat clones i have been putting off trying to wait to use the new machine.
