true enough...but Kim has also called Damon and other company reps 
out on the carpet in the past, since they are sortof 'using' the list 
to advertise their product, and get some scoop on desired features 
and such.

if that's the case, i just think we deserved a better answer than, 
"hey guys, we're just waiting on a swanky new power supply".  if it 
was going to be delayed by whatever amount of time...Damon would have 
garnered a bit more respect by just saying so.  he could have even 
used the over-realistic formula (ya know that one?  take your 
original estimate and double it?) and we would still be going "right 
on! make a bitchen machine!"

and hell, i'm not even on the group buy and not planning on buying 
one well into next year probably...

so, rich, then shut up....:)
