I have a 1270, and tried my very BEST to demonstrate the notorious orange 
fading for my classes, alas to no avail!  Even THAT was 
undependable!  :-)  I am located on the west coast of FL right on the 
water, so that result was a real surprise.  OTOH, the fading problem 
reports have varied all over the map, literally and figuratively!  Go 
figure!  :-)
