nice touch all of those thanks etched into the pcb. Will all of that have to disappear with the sonic blue deal

Sadly the Mk.2A (which is about to start shipping, mostly production changes) is likely to be the last board with greets and cute things written under chips (I don't advise that you remove any chips to find this, though!). It also features all new "Ring 'O Lights" technology

The next revision will be designed by Rio's excellent electronics team in Germany, and whilst I know they'll do a fantastic job with the circuitry, I don't think they're as passionate about Red Bull or pizza as we are.
