Hi George,
Nice to see you back in circulation again. After that "bad English"
exchange you disappeared, probably stung. Sorry about that. I'm very
curious about what's coming out in toy stores. COuld it be some kind of RP
system for kiddies? No problem with precision or tolerances here, so such a
device shouldn't cost much to produce. Hmm....LOM-based, you say...
Interesting.
By the way, we received free upgrades to TriSpectives 2.
