Hi, John,
I'm located in northcentral Idaho. Near the town of Grangeville.
I actually posted that first message on these fora, this morning. Already, it looks like there is some traffic starting to pass through.
I just heard about the HandiBot yesterday, in the Popular Woodworking newsletter -- and, my head's been buzzing with possibilities. I could never quite justify buying a ShopBot. But, at the price point they are going to try and market the HandiBot, I think a guy who's reasonably clever with building tooling can use the HandiBot to either: a) afford a ShopBot fairly quickly; or, b) determine he didn't need one to start with. I'm excited!
Are you one of the folks who's scheduled to get one right away?
Jim
