Hello there everybody, Markus at the factory calling. I've been disconnected
for a few days, and of course something like this crops up.
First of all: This is definitely an infringment of our copyrighted trade
mark. It is not allowed to use the name "Mellotron" on any kind of product
without our permission. That's why the CD-rom is called "M-tron" for
example.

We have taken due action to put a halt to this, even though it is an idiotic
product to put out.

Best

Markus

Clap 'em in irons I say.  Put 'em in a boat and sink it.  Get them credit 
blacklisted and pull all their geraniums up.  After all, it is an 'idiotic 
product' and needs the strongarm of the law to halt this fiasco in a trice.

The factory? Is that the one near the kitchen or just across the landing
from the bedroom?

I fully intend to manufacture a tape relay keyboard instrument from food
colouring, fruit flavourings and boiled hooves. The Jellytron will be a
big hit, I'm sure.

Greetings All,  Thanks for the input ,Mike,

In northern New England, the "Snovatron" has been a favourite
here for that classic "icy" sound.  Built in the  outdoors polar factory,
it doubles as a snowboard for negotiating those difficult moguls.

Wouldn't the Jellytron have a potential problem with wobblies??
Or jigglies...... Oh well.  Just thinking (stinking) out-loud. JK
