HHCs (bad news)

I have some unfortunate news to pass along to everyone interested in the
Panasonic HHCs. The deal is now off.

Due to a lack of communication within the company that had the units,
they were all, in the words of Mike Westin who was the go-between in the
deal, "shit-canned". The company simply threw them out because they did
not know there was an offer tendered.

On the positive side, there are still roughly 50-75 units still left
within the company that are still being used by employees, and will be so
for about the next two months. Mike is currently developing a new product
for the company, at which time they will no longer use the remaining
units, and they will then, hopefully, be sold to us.

So for now, no HHCs. Its disappointing, mostly because the thought of
all these nice systems being simply thrown out is a damn shame. However,
we may yet be able to acquire the remaining units in a couple month's time.
Stay tuned.

Sorry all.
