>> The excitement is building as Orion and Orion II owners anticipate the

>> The recent e-mail that the beta testing was finished and that the factory

>> This time tomorrow, will we be jubilantly ruling the bands, sporting the
>> "K3 killer" code, or will be be tossing and turning in our beds thinking
>> "maybe next week..."?  Join us again tomorrow for another exciting
>> adventure of "As the Tuning Dial Turns"!
