Patrick,
Thanks so much for the feedback. I am sooo sorry I haven't responded sooner.
I'm not use to finding messages hear about the show. Generally they come via
e-mail or are posted on the BimPBoards. Guess if I am going to announce on
LUGNET, I'm going to need to start checking the board more regularly.

That is definitely the goal.

Don't even get me started on the Wal-Mart thing. But I agree totally with your
remarks. However, I'm not sure how much of this is LEGO controlled either.
Even Toy's R Us rarely has anything I want to purchase except maybe the
occassional Star Wars set to two. Although I did snag a great buy on the
Millineum Falcom model at Target (now there's a department store).

I have been hit over the head with this one by many a listener and I understand.
I have communicated with Joe and he now has a USB headset. One listener even
suggested we take up a collection so he could get a decent headset! That will
definitely enhance the quality of the audio (and yes...Joe is coming back to the
BimPCast very soon). I heard his interview on the BrickNebula podcast and they
too had difficulties with sound equalization.

Love LEGO trains and would love to get a guest on board to talk trains.

Hey thanks! I appreciate that you like the show. And as always, keep sending
the feedback. I truely want this to be a community driven show. I would also
like to invite others to join us for a BimPCast. If you have something to say
and you have Skype, drop me a line.

I gotta get the BimPCast listed at BoingBoing!

Joe and I are planning more collaborations. He's asked for an article and I've
asked him to become a regular on the BimPCast. Both of us are looking at our
busy schedules and trying to make it happen.

Glad you liked the featured MOC. If you or anyone else has a MOC I should
consider featuring (or a MOC challenge) send it to me via e-mail or as an audio
comment.
> _Show 10_: And I hope it keeps going for at least another 100.
Thanks so much and I too hope to make to 100! Love the comments...keep'em
coming.
Steven
