All these people are waisting their time telling us how this ISN'T going to happen and why. For those people, go get in the studio with whatever you have and quit putting this whole thing down. Theres NO reason why a group buy is bad. Redmatica would get more users.....which equals more $ and the word is spread about their program. We are only talking $50-100 off the total package which isnt enough too cry over. So whos going to help make this happen? I initially had the idea and Guy was taking over with talking to Redmatica and thats the last I heard. What can I do to make this happen and whats the update on this? -Dan
