When Bruce first contacted my in November it wasn't a good time to be taking from the GRANDIS brothers during the Christmas shopping period. And, the holidays continued here until January 7th.
The next few weeks would be a good time for me to go. Maybe all you guys that want to have a particular GRANDIS question answered can funnel them to Bruce Thomson, and Bruce can send me one set of questions that I can ask GRANDIS. The time spent will be much more productive in that way.
