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.
