LMAO @ the new TP discussion!!!!
Thanks for the description of the TBolt buy.
Yes, please add my name to the list of buyers for one of the next batch of T_Bolts. I've been putting off buying one to the Ebay offerings, but this opportunity will push me over the edge. I'll definitely buy one.
Power supplies aren't a problem for me... I have a few linears that should work well, or I could build whatever I need. If finding a reliable PSU becomes a problem, I can take the T-Bolt without a PSU.

Hi Dave,
Yes, there have been 3 or 4 large batches of TBolts sold through
TAPR over the past year or two. The price ranged from about 95
to 125. Most were sold with power supply; some without (when the
source of cheap switching supplies ran out). For more info see:
http://www.leapsecond.com/tbolt-faq.htm
http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/tapr-tbolt/

Yes, there will be another group buy or two. However, this time
I'm testing all of them first and then announcing the sale (expect
mid-March) so that no one has that long wait between ordering
and paying/receiving.
So hang on a bit longer and I'll send the details next month.
Note a number of people have asked privately (you know who
you are) and those requests will be handled first.
