Tim,

Maybe not! I worked in the copier industry a long time ago, and the
machines were rated in "copies per month". I had one account that I
visited EVERY month (end of month) when they ran their
ENTIRE "rating" in one or two days! They always complained that they
were following the "specs", no matter how many times I explained that
the rating was based on EVEN daily usage...

Friction and heat build up is what will getcha... Applies to other
machines too!

P.S. You probably WILL be okay, but I've seen this point missed by
others before in retrofits... I've ALSO seen that FIVE hours become
FIFTY pretty often :-)
