Well Joey,next time everyone decides to meet up,I guarantee you'll be burdened with my presence for more than 2 min!! Unless of course you find yourself in Downtown Fullerton,in which case I'd be glad to buy ya a beer or 3.

I just might take you up on that and a couple of buy backs!

Ben Hall has reported that RIC expects to eliminate the backlog this year!

WOW! Now that's BIG news!
No backlog by next Christmas. Maybe a bit later, since there's always some unforseen snags, but very impressive.
Uhhh, I better start saving!

Maybe I'll get my jetglo Laredo around the time Paul Boyer gets his BBR Cii, sometime just before 2008.

You might want to read it again- he's referring only to Blue Burst models. But it is true that our emphasis this year is to work hard to bring the backlog down. There are multiple approaches to this problem being applied, one of which you'll learn about Thursday morning as the NAMM show opens.

For those of us that can't be there, John, please keep us posted.

I would hope it doesn't include a price increase.

My guess is cutting out some models.

Thanks Mr. Hall for the insight, I'm totally prepared to wait the eighteen months that was quoted to me and applaud you for your efforts to erase the backlog. I already have two fine 4004 models and expect the next one to be as good or greater than those, keep up the good work.

I doubt we could ever erase the backlog but we hope to at least bring it down to a more manageable and acceptable level.

quoting John Hall...

It's Thursday morning....
