I think we already did tell you a few machines with Nagra
capabilities are due for release.  Many are waiting to jump and no
one is buying right now.  Nagra really has no edge on anything
anymore that I can tell.  We invited Sound Devices to our primitive
campout this weekend.  I hope they come to play as I think they would
learn and have fun.  They home office only a few miles from our
selected site.

At least with the new sony I can sit and play games while I wait for
the wind and rain to stop.
