any news ... pleeze :wave:

Well OK then. It has been difficult trying to know what the best thing to do is. I have limited resources so I have to have a very good plan going forward. The decision was made here just recently to put this on the back burner. The reason is the amount of time and money it will take to get this to the point I really want it to be in terms of operation and quality. I thought about going ahead and making it but deleting some features just so I could go ahead and get it on the market. I decided I would rather this be what I want it to be from the get-go. I have many products on the drawing board and the decision was made to move one of the others forward and put the BT on hold. This new product is completely unknown to CPF and will stay that way until I am real close to production. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut. The BT will come sometime in the next ten years.:p

No problem Michael, as long as I'm the first one on that list :p

:mecry:

you sound like me with my custom knives :popcorn:

I agree there should be no compromise
I would rather wait for the best (custom made) product

10 years is a bit too much of a wait though:rolleyes:

we'll all be implanted with retinal bioelectric 3000 lumen multi wavelength emitters by then ;):twothumbs

oops did I let the cat out of the bag ... hope that wasn't the BT :poke:


hope the other project will be soon ... sounds interesting

put me on the list for that one too ...:D

Sort of. In working on the development of the as yet unnamed project(publicly) I figured out a solution to one of the technical problems that was holding me back on the BT so thats news I guess. Still my time is focused on other projects at the moment.:poke:I do not plan to keep updating this thread until I come back and work on the project in earnest. Thanks for the continued interest.

Michael,

As long as the list is still valid, I'm still in!:thumbsup:

I would rather the BT be done right than done fast.

Do it right, do it well, do it once.

:thanks: for your efforts, Michael!

Agreed.... Sounds like to get the product just right waiting is better. Keep us apprised of all new activity be it the BT or your new "secret" project. I would like to be on that list as well! Good luck!

Nothing more to report. Been hard at work on a revised and far cheaper DEFT called the DEFT-FTP. Just finished the first production version the other day and testing has commenced. All info pertaining to that though will be posted in a new thread.
