Hi Antti,

Our audio team was hoping to have a series of these platforms and then the
economic downturn forced us to put priority on to other projects with a
greater return on investment.

Having said all of this, I tend to agree with many of the comments people
make, but at the end of the day I was lucky to get this platform out and not
cancelled.

Still it is possible to build other projects on what we started.

With some changes, how many boards are you willing to purchase.

Are these to be blank or populated?

Regards,

Terry
