I have no doubt (personally) that these guys have indeed fixed that silly imb problem (thanks to them for that indeed)

You didn't think for a second that all of those 30K happy customers would pass on this opportunity did you? Not even taking into account all the small dudes like myself, those who only has this as a 'preventative' option. Jeff, I'd buy 2 (two) just to make sure I have a spare kit in case.

EDit: deleted the 'concept' part, but did sent it to you by PM. Send it to your friend pls

(I'm out bud, thanks for everything you do for us btw. Too cool)
