[C320-list] A couple notes from Annapolis

[Barbara Uhlman]

Forget the micro on the newer 320's.  Ours is still dead and under warranty (at the time of its death) and we still don't know what Catalina will do.  They say there are no more of the Tappan 5030S available and I'm not sure I would want one.  We used ours for one bag of popcorn and it died.
