    Actually, he's called a "Smorking Labbit" produced by Kid Robot...
    Their website (www.kidrobot) has some pretty funny things for your
    desk top.

    Glad to be on board!

    hey there, so sorry for the absence.... Wow a year goes by fast! Lots happening on my side of the pond, so I apologize for being scarce.

    Looking forward to catching up on the action over here!

    Hi Jeff,
    I've been enjoying Tone for quite a while now - it's interesting to see how it's evolved. Nice to see that a hi-fi publication recognises the fact that us audio-victims have other interests!

    You're very brave to stick your toes in these waters though - we're a bunch of weird folks - often a little rich for you colonial boys!!

    I love your part of the world & go there as often as I can - you've got the trees!

    And for what it's worth, I tend to like your side of the pond quite a bit. I'm a big British HiFi and Car enthusiast. I've got my share of Naim, Harbeth and Rega in my systems here. And I just had a great time two weekends ago with the new Aston Martin DBS. Watch next issue for the article!

    Glad you guys like the extra content. I certainly get my share of criticism for it! People seem to love it or hate it!

    Trying to get the car guys, watch guys and guys that love other toys to jump into our world too... That's the evil plan. Get em hooked on something else!

    Thanks for reading, we certainly appreciate it.
