Re: [newmellotrongroup] Any pictures of the 5000 yet?

Yes, but we decided to get a house down at the shore. We were thinking of  
going down in size; just a small cottage, but then we decided to by a  
foreclosure property and so after a bit of research, we bought this place... We  
may end up making it a "Bed and Breakfast", but first, inside it's going to 
need  quite a bit of fresh paint... The cool thing is that it's so close to 
the  boardwalk.

That's good to hear Frank.  No mortgage is a great thing in these  times.  
Are you staying back east?

That would really have been something. A good move for you guys,  Martin. 
The world economy being what it is, this is no time for  prototyping. You 
guys do great stuff to keep us all going and you  make a great machine... the 
M4000. Mine has never failed to do what it's  supposed to do... and it's 
three and a half years old. It does misbehave now  and again, but only to remind 
me what it is. The cycling has always worked  properly and though a tape 
might stick on occasion, that usually is a  function of environment.
 
After three years, it is due for some attention, but it will wait until  
May. I'm moving soon and it and the rest of my keyboards and equipment  will 
no longer reside my the basement. Instead, all will be in family room  #2 
which will be environmentally superior to the current location. Mel, soon  to 
return from his "spiritual" visit with Kyozan Joshu Sasaki, has asked for  
his own room. Karen and I have decided to accommodate him and will  prepare 
space under the stairs just off family room #2. 
 
Also. (Sound the trumpets) I will have a new shop that is 50% larger  than 
the old one and completely above ground.
 
AND NO MORTGAGE.
 
ha!
 
Frank.

Is that a reference to our proposed M5000? at the moment it is  permanently 
on hold as we have M4000 orders to last a while and no time  for 
development. Best laid plans and all..........
