>>the bugs which were found can only be fixed by people who are all overseas

So if I might extrapolate.. There is currently noone working on the Empeg software or at least specifically these bugs? This is where I suspect SonicBlue is impacting Empeg Car development. The Replay product is probably getting a lot of attention from all corners of SonicBlue.

Sigh, I suppose 2.0 will be a nice Xmas surprise. Hopefully Xmas 2001.

Frustrated,
