Thanks for the small updates Mark.
Those little factoids about the competition rules are interesting. Have a fun show and don't let Hornall force you to make drinks. (long story, I'll tell ya next time we meet up)

Hey Mark,
I'll chime in more later...But I love seeing the baristas set up of their wares before they compete--totally cool!-I can't wait to meet some of these characters sometime. Fun to be had by all. Say Hi to Barry Jarret for me if you see him-he really has helped me trouble shoot some machine problems. I'm sure you've seen Dougie and the Intelligentsia crew(my guys). Keep up the great coverage!!!!

I'd like to see a report from the Hearthware booth on the reworked I-Roast which, if I understand correctly, will be there in Atlanta. I'm in the market for a new roaster since I just melted the fan shroud on my modified WBPII last weekend. Specifically:
Is it quieter ?
Does it retain the program when the plug is pulled?
Thanks, Patrick
