For anyone who hasn't listened to this, you should. Thanks to Friend of Atlas and MWA for calling in and asking excellent questions. I was very surprised to hear Michael's response to the question about keeping the original pre-order list for round 2.
Thanks again for calling in Friend of Atlas and MWA. I found out too late about this or would have called in also.
Thanks, but I forgot to ask about the beta testing - public or private - and for some silly reason I got nervous once I was on

Sometimes I rock at public speaking and sometimes I freeze - I can never tell when it will happen - it's very annoying!! Thank God it doesn't happen with work presentations that much anymore....
anyway, the point I was trying to get across was that DC needs to clear the air about what is going on with the people behind the scenes. We were fortunate to have Mario here to explain the technical machinations to both the experienced and inexperienced. Unfortunately for DC, Mario was the voice of this
device for a very long time. If Mario is gone for good just let us know - we don't need all the dirty laundry - we just need to know that someone (like an EE) is there to back this up. It would be even better if that person could get on ECF and keep us informed of the technical updates. No offense Michael, but it would great to hear from the horse's mouth so to speak.
I think we've all quit jobs before, or left positions for whatever reason.... employee turnover happens - and business partners don't always make it... such is life, but most of us here still want to stand behind this project. We don't want to lose faith. (not trying to put words in anyone's mouth by saying "most of us" - you're welcome to disagree - It's what's both great and sometimes irritating about forums - people don't hesitate to express their opinion)...
