At the end of the day, the Outlaws collectively stepped on their peepees. Not once, not twice, but three times with the successor to the 990. OK...so they're going to come out (someday) with a "budget" successor. I take that to mean something that wasn't up to the 978's level. Even the 978 is already outclassed in terms of features by budget AVRs available today. I feel as bad as the rest of you that Outlaw missed the boat, but a "budget" 978 that's slated for release sometime in the future? Maybe next year? C'mon.

Partner with someone that has a credible offering in the processor space TODAY at a price point that Outlaw customers can deal with and get on with life.
