Hi John,

We're just now cleaning up "the last bug," which was a bit challenging. Trust me, we're just as anxious to ship as everyone else is to receive.

The manual was blessed today and should be posted soon.

As one with acute P3 withdrawal using my KX3 instead of my
K3+P3, I'm looking forward to my PX3 actually shipping.

I did have a lot of fun with the KX3 while in New Hampshire.
With all its built in features (Dual watch, DVR etc.), I have a
bunch of money yet to spend on my K3.

I'm expecting several PX3 upgrades since "the last bug" usually
isn't the last bug. :-)

"The last bug" concept is countermanded by the superior law: "Nature abhors
a vacuum".  This of course means that when the "last bug" is fixed that
firmware will self-morph under cover of darkness to produce another bug to
fill the vacated space.  If you have been keeping careful records on these
issues you will recognize the pattern.

For some the trick is to ship when the new bug has some semblance of a
feature, a process mastered by Microsoft in the 20th century. This led to
the interesting procedure of using "maintenance" (a snooty word for
"fixit") software to introduce new features, still widely practiced in the
industry to this day.

Firmware self-morph can sometimes be defeated by running high wattage grow
lights 24/7 in program development areas. The usual resulting increase in
developer insomnia is handled by company-issued sunglasses not to be taken
out of the development area.

73, Guy
