</span></div>Before the 4000's I had 2 x Natural Pro's and a bona fide original Natural, I miss the convenience of the USB hub in the Pro; those things were built to last but were just too big and bulky so I flicked them - and the original Natural - on TradeMe.<br>
<br>Shame I didn't know about your hoard I would have gladly passed them on. :)<br></div></div></div>
