To All My flyer has arrived. Long live Newtek. Arrived at my office in LA yesterday and had them fed-ex it to my winter den outside Yellowstone N.P.(2 ft. on the ground and 20 below this morning). After a four hour drive (no addresses out here in the woods) to the fed-ex office I now have a flyer sitting here in front of me. I'd be feeling pretty good about now, EXCEPT one of our techs pulled the manual out and forgot to put it back. So till I can get the next fed-ex (friday) I'll just have to sit here and look at it. Bummer Heres hoping for a bright future to a great product. Russ Finley Holiday Films

Russ, Great to hear that you are breathing the same air <g> as a Video Flyer. Are you a regular end user like me, or is this a demo unit? Did it come from NewTek directly, or from a dealer? Regards, Gary

Gary, I'm an end user and requested a beta unit after NAB. It came directly from Newtek. Russ Finley Holiday Films

What were you gonna do with the manual?

>What were you gonna do with the manual?< Setting up the flyer requires surgery. Here is a quote from the manual – "This next step requires that you pay close attention, since you must carefully fold, spindle, and mutilate the ribbon cable….."

Russ: I hate Ribbon cable. I cant wait. By the way how DOES the External Hard drives conect. Do you have to fold spindle and mutilate the Case?.. Boo-Radley Hayes Visual Communication

Brad Two ribbon cables stick out the back to connect via regular cables to the external drives. One for each drive. Russ Finley Holiday Films
