I thought that I saw a posting on this list that they had gone out of
business ??

In any case, we have used an ILT laser for several years.  Our
experience has been reasonably good.  We do, however, run it at 40mW
at most times.  The first tube lasted about 5000 hr while the second and
third tubes lasted only about 3000hr.  We also noticed a distinct lack of
interest in the customer by the service department.  One time, it took
nearly 30 days to have a tube replaced.  The last time I requested
service, I purchased a second one to prevent being down for another
thirty days.  As you can see, I did not pick up the LASER service
contract from BD the vendor from whom it was originally purchased.  All
things considered, I still saved money in the long run.

I thought that I saw a posting on this list that they had gone out of
business though???
