[Clay Autery]

Wayne, Eric, and everyone else who had/has a hand in making this happen:

Well done!  Simply superb effort to overcome multiple and significant
obstacles on many fronts.

Please, do place me on the list of folks keenly interested in knowing
when one might place an order/pre-order.  :-)

Out-friggin'-standing!!
