Thanks for translating ~:^)  I know they are busy, but it would seem
that they just went to one vendor and got a price or something, which
is probably what I would do if I was busy and handed a small thing like
this.  I just want to make sure we are getting all we should be for our
money, especially as a 4GB microdrive would open up a lot of
possibilities and options for the software team.

He did, and thank you.  I've already started to test my software
modifications on one of them.  I really only need one at the moment,
so you can have the other one back if you need it.
