Hi.
You actually went to the bother of looking this piece of shite up, to find
its specs, so you could advise. That is going the extra mile, just to be
helpfull.
I just said what I did because I had never heard of the maker, and thought
that if he really wanted to know about it, he would try for a review, and
then could conclude that it was crap.
