I wish I could go to the conventions, but I am as far north of
them as one can get, excepting Alaska. Oh well, at least KS8 may
be on its way, hopefully. I guess that rumor of a new bn model,
mentioned by an HW leader in an interview last year, is just that
- a rumor. I sort of figured that, but it was nice to hope...
Right, time to stop rambling and go get some lunch.
Have a great day,
Alex
