...and wanted to congratulate the Empeg team once again on a wonderful product (now that I have a remote again, I can access the rest of the wonderful new features in 2.0 that I couldn't before). I'm looking forward to a final release of the 2.0 software.

Quick question. On the Mk2a units, is the serial number this 9... number I see on the box (I'm used to numbers that start with 9) or is it the 3... number I see on the player?

In other news, I got a shipment confirmation today of my spare Rio remote control that I ordered a week before I ordered the player.
