uh, you guys are getting a bit ahead of yourselves again. nothings been canceled or in any danger of that. (it was in danger of that, in the recent Oberheim massacre, but that danger is well passed.) Gibson is just moving the production to a different division, Opcode. This means there is a temporary delay in new units while they get things going again. The advantage of people contacting them about it is that they will see the interest out there, and they will move faster to get the new units available. It probably wouldn't be completely appropriate for me to organize petition drives or whatever (I don't have time anyway....). But if you all want to do that, chances are good that I wouldn't stop you.... kim At 7:06 AM -0700 5/27/99, Sean Witters wrote: >I'm a Jam Man user myself, but I would hate to see the Echo Plex go the >way >of Sellon's masterpiece.
