    +1 on the welcome back's above, Erica. Also looking forward to 2015 model news, especially a revision in the PiP model.

    Ok, so now we got everyone's hopes up for some immediate product news. Well, guess I'll have to let everyone down. It isn't the first time, and probably won't be the last. ;)

    It's nice hearing from you both. Silence for that long made it feel like we had lost contact. Welcome back!

    2014 is growing near. The market is changing. We will be expecting news at some point... ;)

    So, only Erica has new-product news. A photo would be nice (echoing the Spiderman).

    Wow! Those are 2 very cute babies . . . . and one with molars already! It's like watching my 2 grand kids ... growing so fast I can hardly imagine my daughter even having her own 2 kids this age already.
