Being a bit closer to the inside of NewTek than I am to the outside (and also being able therefore to see what they HAVEN'T said or shown) I stand by my interpretation. I think the new toaster-in-a-shoebox is a winner and will be on the streets very quickly. A. NewTek needs to do it B. The new gizmo uses the EXISTING Flyer board. Yes, there's a bit to do on the Flyer (a key NewTek programmer resigned just as the 4.0 software was being wrapped up) but the 'Traz crew knows what to do and how to do it. Sorry if you've been disappointed with the Flyer – we all wish it's little quirks would vanish tomorrow but I don't think you'll be waiting long for that. Extensive conversations at NAB with 'Traz programmers and Tim Jennison, combined with my own knowledge of it's low-level operation led me to my conclusion. I hope I'm not wrong (I'll eat my words right here in this forum if so), but my reasoning has a basis in reality.
