hi grant

what i was saying was that i dont own any frac stuff at the moment, i am 
trying to keep my frankensynth the same look i.e. ssilver, i hate the 
look of black panels mixed with blue, mixed with white etc ( i know it 
is stupid but I love the overall aesthetic) that is why i am waiting for 
a complete wiard system. i am sad to say i missed the boat on your 300 
system otherwise you would have already had my money for future 
development...
