Thanks! That's a happy message for me! :)

This encourages for the update!

I would like to thank Ian for this thread and his help. Also, thanks to Chris, he was very patient and helpful on the phone. I decided to buy a VII. I have had it about a week now and, while I still need to improve my shots, I am very happy with the purchase.
