Just browsing the RIC forum, and happen to come across this.

That thread is 6 months old. I could be wrong but it was my understanding that JH was waiting for the "bootleggers" to stop before he made more.

WHAT...!
That is very nice Jared.
What's the story on it?
Looks like a 4003S MB with toaster,and horseshoe.
How did you get that?

That thread is from today. JH has been hinting at it for a few days now. I think they're waiting for C64 warranties to expire before they start selling horseshoes.

Jared's bass is a 4003s8, also!

Sorry about that, I was looking at the registration dates.

Yeah I aksed that question. I hope people with a 4003 can also buy a horseshoe and not only people with a c64. Anyway its great that MrHall answer was pretty positive.

That funny thing about that thread is that people have been nagging John Hall for ages to sell horseshoes again, and when he finally hints that it's going to happen soon, some of them go, 'great, but we actually prefer the hi-gains'.

Indeed, Ilan! If the output is their main goal, they just should get an active bass!

I'm guessing this news is also linked to the progress of Rics application to register the Horseshoe pup shape as a trade mark.

Jared, do you live in Atlantis? Do they have roofs and enclosed dry spaces where you are?

ahh, space is at a premium here.

My workshop is a redwood garage; sparks and open flames are not welcome there!

One day I will have a concrete workshop with positive airflow, 3ph power, room to create...but for now I am at the mercy of the weather.

damn!
