My father has made a pretty remarkable recovery and was able to go
home after his extended stay in the hospital. I feel very fortunate
to have him back after the situation was so bleak. While he is
physically much frailer his mind is intact.

New modules that were meant for release this year went unfinished as
I tried to keep up with assemby and shipping while caring for my dad.
Unfortunately, Gate Sequencers are still held up with a glitch in the
"loop/hold" switch. Thank you to those who are still waiting for
their continued patience and understanding. My customers know that I
am a man of my word and that I deliver modules promptly 99% of the time.

It occured to me the other day that, without much fanfare, Metalbox
released the first commercially avaiable vaccuum tube module this
year. Yes the cool Metasonix pedals can be retrofitted with ears, but
they are really pedals and operate on a separate power supply afaik.

I know that I said that this Yahoo Group was going away in favor of a
www bbs, but I intend to keep it up for now. There are better forums
for general modular talk, and most of your correspondence with me is
through private email. However, this group still makes for a useful
repository.

Regards,

Michael
