    Superb Mikebond! A most impressive and beautiful accomplishment.

    Wonder why they don't have them on the web site.
    They do, where the strong market is. USA is very quickly becoming a 3rd world country in terms of consumerism. We get by with cheap junk produced with slave labor in the orient while the rest of the world is enjoying the "good stuff".

    Anywho, polish up your Japanese and have a looksee here: Great Plains Audio???? - ????????

    Hey, Look at history. China is trying to catch up with a previous position it held in world production, pre Industrial Revolution. At current rates this could be 20 years or so. The West has been lazy and is reluctant to use its advantages to stay ahead by investing in its intellectual resource potential. Capitalism is conservative and tends to milk the last drop from a failing situation. Once the writing is well and truly on the wall the Capitalists seem to rally in strength, leaving a lot of wreckage behind. Is there a better way? I hope so!

    P.S. Don't write the US of A off. What it needs are old fashioned visionaries in politics rather than the modern politician who won't hold a view without consulting the Polls. This political disease is rampant on both sides of politics and worldwide in Western countries. If you need a revolution in progress you need leaders who are up with the game and looking to the future - hard to do if you are captive to the support of Yesterday's Men(hard when they finance election campaigns). Capitalists will milk the last dying drop from a declining situation before becoming motivated to try something else. Politicians need to be ahead of them, not in their thrall, to utililise business potential.. Big change required on both sides. It is OUR choice. Can you make it?

    Non - partisan comment. Definitely OT.

    I haven't written her off. But she is only now just beginning to "wake up" when she should really be throttling full steam ahead to her resolve. Sadly, i don't think she even has a viable plan on the drawing board yet. But, i will not give up hope.

    Bowtie, I made some edits. Much the same but clarified a little - not sure if you caught them.

    Cheers, Marshall.

    I wish they'd(GPA) get some calendars printed up using some of those beautiful stock pics for the artwork. I'd be the first inline to buy a few. Some of us still like paper calendars with sexy pin-ups, and those would do just fine!

    Customers' pics of their own DIY systems using GPA stock would be pretty cool too, the ones above right at the top of the list.

    Caught them eventually, and i'm largely in agreement with you.
