read in another forum that sales were halted due to an unexpectedly high demand.

also mentioned there will be an article in nov's excellence mag.

no new sales until after the magazine is released (probably so he can increase manufacturing to meet the demand after the article)

After the Pre sale period the product was pulled until the debut in Excellence.. We actually planned to do this, nothing was unexpected... The demand was greater than we had imagined and we are working hard to get product ready for when sales open.

Honestly we had a leak of the technology, we had originally planned to debut the technology in the Excellence article out of the blue.

Read all about it in the November issue of Excellence, it is being printed as we speak.

Jake, you said the technology was going to be printed in Excellence. That means your letting the cat out of the bag. Have you given the Failure Detector to the one who guessed how it worked yet? Can't wait to see how close I was. :dance:
