Hello from Ontario.
Looking forward to printing up a storm (like the weather outside) once my Orion shows up. It has been help up at customs for the last 6 days and may be for another 2weeks. Anyone ordering should probably use UPS, they provide an agent service.. I went with USPS as a suggestion from the manufactures but they just hand it over Canada post so it probably will be 2 weeks. Boo. Anyway, I've been reading the forum and have learned a lot already.

Thanks Eaglezsoar. Already downloaded everything, poured through manual and have a dozen or so projects already to print. Even my wife is excited. I"ll be sure to post anything worth posting.
