Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted September 24, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 hey guys, Hugo and Dean are sending me their new top stage to play with on my show (everyone tune in Sun night 10 pm, ABC -- so I will be able to afford to buy John's sled back from sphincter-boy). I should have it in a few weeks. When I get it I'll let everyone know/post some pictures/have people over for beer and top stage. Then Hugo said to pass it along to the next chap to play with. I'll let y'all know when it's here Ron B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Hugo_Langer Posted September 24, 2005 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Hello all, Thankyou so much for your interest in beta testing our new Topstage. We have had a great response both here and via emails. I will reply to each of you through the week. I think logistically the best way to do this is to gather everyone?s details over the next few weeks and then put together some sort of itinerary based on your location. This way some of you may like to take the opportunity to organize a get together for a social gathering and make an afternoon of it. If I publish a basic itinerary here perhaps we could all work with it and adjust it according to what works best for all. The Topstage's journey will commence in California as it has firstly been allocated to Ron Baldwin. In the mean time please feel free to send your details and we will endeavor to include your name on the list of beta testers. On a further note, some years ago when we commenced this project I had gathered a list of emails from operators who had requested a beta test of the Topstage when it is ready. Unfortunately, that data was lost when the server we were using at the time crashed. I did back up the data but have not been able to read it as we changed companies and now use a more reliable webmail server. My apologies to anyone who had emailed us at the time and if you would still like to Beta test the Topstage we will be only too happy to organize it for you. Photos available soon. Regards, Dean A.

Premium Members Brant S. Fagan SOC Posted September 26, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Dean-- Yes, please may I have some fun with your new toy? I remember seeing the pics from a prototype some time ago and thinking then it was a good idea! Drop me a line and I can put it through some serious cold weather testing in New England and New York! Thanks! Best, Brant "Almost Frozen in NH" Fagan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Manyluk Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Dean, I would be happy to do extreme :ph34r: cold testing up here in the soon-to-be-frozen wilds of Western Canada. I had also contacted you a few years ago regarding this product... Thanks, Brett Manyluk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
