Hello!

I am now back from Japan. Sorry for anyone who was waiting for info while I was away. Quest was kind enough to look after e-mails while I was gone (Thanks Quest!) but in some cases I had to be here to answer.

This was a long trip (longest I have taken in 15 years or so). I hope it did not create any serious troubles for any customers out there and will do my best to get caught up as soon as I can. We had a really great time in Japan and I had the pleasure of spending the good part of the day and an evening with FAL (who make the flat speakers we'll have here soon) and I will report on that tomorrow. I'd highly recomend Japan to anyone as a really great place to travel. Mr. Shibazaki (who owns Sibatech which represents FAL for export) has a really great photo guide to Japan on his web site at

I have beat my way through the 200 or so e-mails yesterday and today and think I have answered them all. I still must get to some phone meassages and will do that in the next day or two as I get ahold of folks. If you had a question in or needed an answer to anything please e-mail or call and I'll be able to reply right away.

I'm still a bit fuzzy from the travel and time change so I'll wait until tomorrow to update the forums and stuff.


Thanks!

welcome back!

I'd luv to visit Japan-seems opposite of me (disciplined, neat, organized, circumspect,)  

So John, do I see a bagful of FAL drivers with you-ready to be tweaked ?  

Cheers,
Kishore

Hello!

I did not bring any back with me but 4 drivers arrived just before I left so I should have them running within a week or 2 at most. I'll post more on the vist to FAL in anouther thread later on.

Thanks!
