Here's a shot in the dark. Does someone have a Compendium which they are no longer using?

It seems to me that the first edition Compendium is OOP and lost forever. That is, unless enough voices speak up with interest that perhaps a reprint could be made. All those interested, please say aye or arrrrr in your best one-eyed voice.

Arrrrrr!

    Possible that someone would sell theirs, I guess...

    If enough folks want them though, maybe DarqueKnight will crank up his printing press for one more V1.0 run...

    I've been trying to get that first edition for a year.

    It will be mine, yes. One day it will be mine.

    Your patience will soon be rewarded. I had to put my literary projects on hold for a few months. Barring any other unforseen circumstances, Compendium 2E should be out by end of summer 2006.

    Raife, put me in line as a customer. I would like to upgrade my SRS crossovers and thought I would check to see if anything has changed for the better on the parts end from your 04 SRS upgrade thread before I start?
    Thanks,

    You mean like more 'canes?

    So, raife, what's V2.0 going to have that the original does not?

    Yeah. It took much longer than I expected to get back close to normal....and I live 70 miles from ground zero.

    1. More historical info.
    2. More modification details.
    3. More buyer's guide tutorial information.
    4. More other stuff that I hadn't decided on yet.

    Figured mod's would be in the remix... How's 'bout some color this go 'round as well?

    None of my business really (but when has that ever stopped me?), but how big a run would have to be pre-sold of V1.0 to make it worthwhile to trot down to Kinko's with your old CD-ROM?


    And know what you mean about the post 'cane time... still have loads of "stuff" upstairs in heavy-duty in plastic wrap... and we were basically unscathed...
    More later,

    Maybe he should just make a Tour2ma edition just for you princess.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The 2nd edition will only be printed in a full color version, unlike the 1st edition which was in full color and black and white versions.

    The question about another limited run of the 1st edition has come up before. I would rather spend the time/effort on the 2nd edition.
