Well, little surprise here, and certainly no Happy New Year. So, time for a "three month anniversary of your last email" email.

On the subject of sharing (as this blog so comprehensively attempts to do), I did a web search on "Zinky owners" just to see if there was any organised confluence of Zinky-related opinion out there.

Still no response to my email from a month ago, so off goes a seasonal follow-up.

Like the title of the latest email says, a month has gone by since Bruce's last email in which he claimed he would "do that today". A month in which my last two emails went unanswered. A month in which my amp did not make an appearance. Will the next development be an email from Bruce? See part 63.

October ends with no response from Bruce to my email of two weeks previous, so off goes another one.

On 19 October 2009, Bruce was going to "get it on the way" that very day. Didn't happen.

31 July came and went and much as expected, Bruce had not put in the effort to fix the amp that I would have rewarded with the $1,000.

So this call didn't go particularly well, both of us lost our cool and nothing was achieved except that some of my suspicions concerning the commercial viability of the Superfly were confirmed.

This was a very hurried call, suggesting that the task of "keeping the lights on" was very time-consuming and that discussing with me work that should have been wrapped up many months ago - or even better doing it - was not a priority.

The call was productive in the sense that I could have the silver case, but tediously predictable in that nothing had been done with the amp, irrespective of the issue of re-covering the case.

It seemed so straight-forward and would hopefully break the deadlock:
