    Serendipity - A new label was sent to Messiah and I've spoken with him so all is well. Thanks Christopher!!

    Technokid from Canada is going to send his to Nebborjk.

    Coolsax - How you doing so far?

    We have lost one Hitmaster to Kawizx9r(Freddy), as it seems he's decided to keep it instead of returning it to Polk or letting any Polkies play with it. He hasn't responded to any emails and I hope he is ok but for now that Hitmaster is gone.

    Mark, in order to comply with the above you need to provide me with some details. Labels with address etc... Sorry, has I pointed out I'm just out out of the hospital and need to get reaquainted with the forum (my first post since out of Hospital).

    I have medical apointments just about every day next week and it should be a good opportunity to drop by Fedex. Simply provide me with as much shipping details as possible.


    NOTE: I will not be as active as I use to on the forum as I am trying to discipline my self to surf the net only once a day but I will read and reply as soon as I am aware of your post or email... sorry for the inconvenience...

    Cheers!
    Rene

    Mmadden - Did you ship? Do you need new labels?

    Nevermind, looks like another non-shipment completed. FedEx is sending you another round of labels.

    I never got the label when you originally sent it for some reason-Did you get the PM and email I sent last week asking about it?

    It's been ready to go--just waitin' on a label. :)

    Are there any Canadians in, around, near or East of Ottawa, Montreal...that would like to demo the Hitmaster? We have one in Canada that the user is willing to ship to another Canadian. The only catch is you have to pick up teh shipping to the next Canadian. I would expect that to be around $15.

    Just figured I'd ask since we don't often get things up to you guys and want to extend the opportunity to you.

    Let me know as soon as you can.

    Technokid,

    Have you had a chance to ship the Hitmaster yet?
    If so can you send me the tracking #?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Negative Kevin. I asked Mark for your coordinates but I was then asked if we could get the Hitmaster to a few more Canadians before it goes back to the US. Mark hasn't received any interest from any other Canadians yet. Let's be a little patient and see what Mark comes up with. As soon as Mark tells me what to do and provide me some coordinates I'll proceed.

    If any Canadians are interested, better respond to Mark soon or you'll loose your chance. Other people are anxious to demo this fine monitor ;)

    Cheers!

    Kevin - It was my intention to use Rene's as an addition to the roster but it's more expensive to ship back than it is worth. I'll get you rotated in next and out of cycle ok? Sorry for the mixup.

    Rene - Enjoy your new Hitmaster, as it's yours to own from here on out. You put the most effort towards reviews and local demos based on this thread alone, so it seems only fitting that you should keep it. That, and no other Canadians spoke up and said they wanted to try it out....guess it's just luck then. Thanks for your time and effort.

    My wife told me it was picked up by FedEx on Monday morning--I would have thought you'd have it by now. Let me see if I can find the tracking #...

    Labels have been sent to Alexander & Randy for Nebborjk & Edbert.

    Freddy (KAWIZX9R) has decided to not return his demo Hitmaster and would rather keep it for himself. Sorry but that's out third one that could have been for rotation for you guys. I hope this doesn't become a pattern.

    Received the Hitmaster tonight and it's already hooked up to the iPod playing some tunes. This little thing is pretty impressive so far.

    I received the Hitmaster yesterday. First impression is really good after a few numbers on guitar hero. More to follow in the coming days.

    Hey Doro! My time is up and I have this ready to send on. Shoot me the label and it will go out tomorrow! This thing was a lot of fun and the review should be up by this weekend.

    Thanks!

    (Walks up to the microphone, blows into it a couple times, taps it a few times...) "Uuhhhh. Is this thing on?" :D

    I'm still enjoying the Hitmaster but will begrudgingly pass it on when you are ready Mark!
