Yes folks, it's true. Although I have yet to contact Dave Biro, I have been planning this announcement for nearly five minutes. The new machine is going to look just like a Birotron B 90, only I plan on calling it the Byrotron B 90D.

It may have escaped your notice but it is generally unwise to reveal plans, schemes and proposals for a new invention in such an open environment. I must therefore inform you that as I write a Trade Mark application is being submitted to the relevant authorities for the name Byrotron B90D. This application has been carefully drafted over a long period of 3 minutes and is to be submitted on the formal paper napkin as all the finest applications are made.

However we admire your entrepreneurship and would be willing to reach a settlement over the use of the name.

It will look just like a Birotron B 90 only it will be only 4 inches thick. It will only play back Birotron samples and will retail for around $150.00.

For a modest increase in the retail cost I am sure all parties can reach an amicable and profitable outcome.

We look forward to hearing from you

P.S. Can I have a pre-production demo machine to show to a pal of mine, Rick?
