My original hopes were to have something ready for NAMM, but I knew that wasn't a realistic goal. As much as I'd like to say wait for what's coming, I can't control the schedule. I will say that I am working as fast as I can and it will be available soon. With other companies in the marketplace, I really can't afford to announce the features before I am ready to sell. --On Tuesday, January 18, 2005 4:43 PM +0000 looper@bluecocoa.co.uk wrote: > Sounds great Bob > However you'll need to put up something soon.. because I intend to buy a > repeater when they come out in a few months and so if you want me to hold > on to that cash which could go to you, then I am gonna need to see/hear > more... > I hope you can get yourself up and running soon so we can all see this > new invention. > good luck mate > geoff > > > On 17 Jan 2005, at 21:29, Doug Cox wrote: > >> Dear Bob, >> >> I think I love you.
