Stopped by the NAPPA show today on my way home from EXPO. The hosptality of Gene, Kim and the entire family is great. Gene took a couple of us on a tour of BBB central and spend quite a while showing us around. The games are simply stunning and things are really moving along. They are hard at work on BBB and a few other pet projects.
I remembered my camera this trip, I am emailing them to Robert now. Hopefully he will be able to link them into forum.
<Added by RW - Sorry for the late link, I was out all day celebrating my little girl's 2nd birthday! Here they are ->
Thanks!

Thanks Bob, can't wait for the pictures!
Did you get any idea of the number left to be completed? Any delivery estimate hints dropped?
Regards

Nick, we were told that "more than half" were completed and boxed. There are more folks working on the machines than I realized. Met two of the folks who have been responsible for much of the assembly, soldering, testing, boxing, etc., etc. I was hoping to meet "The Other Guy - Fred" - heard that Fred was at EXPO but I never had a chance to find out who we was to introduce myself.
They aren't very specific about dates, but from what I was able to gather, I am guessing Feb. or March.... can't wait

Thanks Bob, sounds great. Guess the "last Christmas without a BBB" prediction won't be too far off.
