Wow, I'm gone for a few weeks cause of Hurricane Irene and you guys go nuts! Glad to hear the glitches are being tweaked and resolved. I simply CAN NOT WAIT to use this. It's going to be SO much fun!

Now I've been gone for a while, but it seems we're getting close, I got's my Paypal account loaded up and smoldering to go at this. Any "Ballpark" price range ideas on this?

I'm delighted to hear about the 4th generic device idea. Anything that can open up more of the board and control options sounds awesome to me. I feel like I'm waiting for a new game to come out. Seeing all the previews and features information, and just drooling with anticipation! LOL

I may not be the first in line, but I'm gonna be there at the release date with Bells on... ;)

Marc, just to show some extra love and support, I thought I would contribute some skills to the cause. Just a draft but if you kids like it, we can polish it up. Peter, I used your rendering because 1) it's awesome. 2) it's the only image of anything resembling a d8b that is straight on and, well, doesn't look like it was taken with a Polaroid. I also don't have a great shot of nuendo so pardon the cheap shot (just a draft).

M33, Wow, that's nice mate! I've got to setup a web server now! :D Maybe you and Peter could work something out graphic wise. I really like what I see!

Peter, It'll be real before long, I'm working my ass off on this! :D

Glad you like, Marc. Peter, if you have a rendering of the original d8b, maybe we can switch out that header image. I'd love to see the LED's lit up in the image as well. If possible, of course.

Unfortunately I didn't make a d8b model, just the MKII model versions. I would have to reinstall my 3D software to make it happen, but don't have the time right now...
