Will,

Congratulations. Sounds like a great experience, from everyone's 
point of view. If you see him again, tell him that 900 members of the 
DTXpress Group will buy their first record. I hope you'll stick 
around with us as you get acclimated to the new kit, and thereafter. 
We have a pretty good UK contingent.

Best,
Ed
