I don't beleive your scenario meets any of these qualifications.

When FIRST says it's ok to get it used, I beleive you still have to get it per the other rules.

Question 1352 will hopefully clarify this.
"...section 5.3.4.4..."? "...must have a federal tax id..."?!? When I start to feel like I should call the family lawyer to get a ruling on something, I quickly lose interest in the proceedings. I'm gonna go back to my corner and write some more code...
