Dear bzyzny:
On the one hand, I know out Product Manager is trying hard to blow out all of the 6 inch Basics left in stock. He is running sales and offering them as winnings on contests and everything else. FRYs is selling them also at a good price.
The PM HAS to move out the vast majority of the 6 inch Basics before he can sell the new 6 inch PLUS. We ARE serious about moving them and I think the incentives are good. By the end of this week we will know where we stand and what the timeline will be.
I am MORE anxious than any of you for the good news on the PLUS. I WANT to sell it and fill orders. On the other hand, I know the PM is really trying.
I HOPE to have a firm timeline soon!
