I am sorry to  hear this. I foresee nothing but trouble and intense
consternation. To save you the pain, I will take this awfull beast off your
hands for say $500 bucks (or a munchkins ice cube tray) and you'll only have
to drive it over the hill to deliver... if it will make it that far.

take care,
tim in san jose (if the tongue gets more in cheek, I'll need a straw to
dring my martini)
