First, I haven't even plugged it in yet. This is a review of VistaTech (AKA thefamousbrandsoutlet.com) in Ontario where I bought it.
In a word, excellent!
The pre-sales support by e-mail was great. Frank answered all my questions within a couple of hours and even noticed when I had tried to place an order and had some Paypal issues and then e-mailed me some alternatives.
The price was about the same as from eBay, but it shipped from Canada (or the US if you use their US store) so there were no hidden costs for taxes, duty, shipping,... I didn't have to pay anything at the post office.
And, it was no problem getting it shipped to the post office. We don't have mail delivery in the village where I live so I just used the PO address and the package arrived in five business days and that was over the new year's holiday.
The scope arrived undamaged. It was packed in the regular retail box which was inside another box lined with bubble wrap. The outer box had a ding, but it didn't get through to the inner box.
Another nice thing is the warranty. They give you a 90-day advanced exchange and 3 year return to depot in Toronto. No trying to deal with an unknown Chinese company and return shipping to Hong Kong.
I'm trying to think of some negatives but it isn't easy. I guess the only thing is that VistaTech only has a limited selection of test equipment right now although Frank did say that they are expanding their catalogue.
I can recommend VistaTech if you're looking for a Hantek oscilloscope. As they say, A+++++++++ Would buy again.
I use Tiki Wiki for many of my sites and some of them have multiple domains associated with them. So domain.ca, domain.com and domain.co.uk all point to the same folder on the same server using domain redirection. The main domain works and looks fine but if I go to any of the other domains everything is there but it is out of place. The modules were in the wrong place on the screen and it looked like the theme CSS was messed up. I tried playing with perspectives, multi-domain, areas, domain redirects, category, themes, and anything else that looked promising.
I set everything back to the way it was - all the perspectives stuff turned off then had a think about themes & CSS. There was another spot that mentioned CSS. Under "Performance" was a check box called "Minify CSS" which I had turned on at some point. I turned that off, cleared the cache and the problem was fixed!
Now I just wish that my brain worked like it used to so I wouldn't have to go in circles for hours for a simple problem. FM sucks!
I've had an unused domain hanging around for quite a while and decided to stick a new site up. It is based on Pligg and works like Digg. Zazzy.ca is a news agregator where you can submit links to stories and other people can vote on them.
I'm going to try and keep it geared more to science, technology, computers and that kind of thing.
It is still very new and needs some tweaking, but give it a try and let me know what you think.

I have found lots of sites with PDFs of the 22-195 manual, but the schematic page was always such crap quality that you couldn't read it. So I scanned the page from my owner's manual.

Also interesting is that I found the sales slip from when I bought it "on sale" in 1988 for CA$119.95.
David Fitzgerald Skepticon 3 Examining the Existence of a Historical Jesus
Personally I think that "Jesus" was a character made up for a story like King Arthur and Camelot and was probably based on several people.
