Who here besides me is waiting for Jake Raby's upcoming book?

Just an thought - partner with someone who you train and then can provide internet or phone support for an additional fee. Most DIY'ers will be saving more than enough to be able to pay someone for some help if/when they need it.

A flat fee or a $2 a-minute Help Line telephone number?

Nah, you'll have crazy people like me calling about drilling holes in the internal engine components!

Only for those that purchased the book... I don't think drilling will be any procedure steps in the book.

That doesn't work.. No one can be trained about these engines without having first hand experience.. Is never have someone reading cue cards offer support like some places do that offer tech assistance. Anyone who has the required first hand experience will be creating things with their hands, not sitting on a phone line.

I have offered consulting for years, charging people for help is only effective at pissing them off... Trust me, I've been there. We are expected to spend 100k+ a year on development and then give it away. Yes, people have that attitude.

Each day I get closer to removing the telephone system at the facility. We simply do not need it.

I'm still waiting for the Excellence article. Did I miss it?

Which one? A couple of the stories were picked up by Panorama rather than Excellence.
One article that was written Excellence refused to print after the author had it finished.

The one about the IMS Solution that was supposed to be in the December or January issue. Was that ever published?

No, and it won't be.
