here's my three cents.
We have a 1991 VIP 2000 and a 2002 VIP 5, both are working pretty well. I 
have a biomed company that keeps these machines running like champs. Once in 
a while, the older VIP's pump will go out, but other than that, work horses. 
I guess that's why Sakura stopped servicing the old VIPs, they couldn't sell 
any of the new ones.
    I just know I just P.Oed somebody, so being close to Friday, flame me 
baby, flame me.
