    I got in touch with the owners, they're still willing to loan these out - can I get you guys to confirm you still want to be on the list? It's been a while so I think this is a good step.

    I think we should start these out on the West coast since the owners are out there. I'm inclined to start the loaner with @Original Ken given his valiant petitioning to bring this back from the grave. Cool with you, Original Ken?

    My schedule is currently clear and I would be happy to start out the test.

    @sphinxvc Would you be shipping out or @velvetx or perhaps the owners?

    Most probably the owners. @drfindley, were you able to get the Regen back? If so, perhaps you and @philipmorgan can ship your respective decrappifiers out to Original Ken? Please provide a list of items you're providing with the gear so borrowers can do a thorough check upon receipt.

    I'd like to be on the list still. Interested, especially in the Regen.

    Oh ok, @purrin.

    @drfindley, could you let us know if you want the Regen back first, or if purrin is free to send it out directly? (assuming you're okay with sending it out, Marv?)

    If @purrin wants to send it out directly, then let's go ahead and do that.

    @zonto, @fishski13: 10-4.

    Ok we need to clarify some things: @purrin - are you suggesting that you'll send out your Wyrd & other USB thing too? @philipmorgan is willing to send his Wyrd otherwise. Second, could you send the item(s) to Original Ken?

    I don't know if I can send out the other USB thing. Jeremy got it in for me. Let me check.

    Just a thought.

    I have a Wyrd in my setup, so the Loaner Wyrd that is not in Purrin's possession could be sent directly to the second person in the list, perhaps.

    Actually, I just noticed everyone mentioned the Regen, perhaps all the signups are for the Regen (and already have the Wyrd or have heard it)?

    Since these items are small, hopefully we can keep the box small (Medium Flat Rate perhaps?) - so that people do not have $60 shipping costs when deciding whether to make a $99 purchase. ;)

    Lol!

    @Original Ken - send your address to @purrin. I presume he's ok with sending the Regen and/or Wyrd to you. If he's not sending the Wyrd, we'll just have @philipmorgan send his Wyrd to the first person on the list that's interested in it. Hope that works for all.

    I signed up via the link, don't know if that's still necessary. I'm curious to hear what effect (if any) these devices have on my system. And if it's positive, I hope that the Wyrd sounds just as good as the Regen for my wallet's sake!

    @purrin can you please send this to @Merrick? Merrick, if you could send Purrin a PM and share details...

    We can send it to @zonto on the east coast after that and then wrap up.
