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

We hate our current neighbors and one of the attractions of the place is  
the ability to get rid of rif-raf who try to use our private beach.

The cannon down front are nice.  Expecting trouble, or moving to  Baltimore?

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?

Breathe out... :-( 
 
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..........
