Last night I decided to kit a bunch of the new QuickProto Lite Kits and get them into their spot in Propellerpowered inventory when I noticed one lonely little GG QuickProto Kit that I purchased from Nick a while back.
Since it's "old stock" now, I thought I'd have a little fun on the Parallax forums and give it away today.
Here's what I'm looking for. The first reply to this post that contains:
By 9PM EST tonight will get this kit mailed to them.
For the rest of you, Propellerpowered is stocking the new QuickProto Lite Kit for $8.99 (or get it FREE with the purchase of a $25 Quickstart board!)

- The earliest Parallax thread that first mentions the Propeller 2
- The date the first UPENE expo.

The absolute earliest hinting at the Propeller 2 is probably this one: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/84691-More-to-come?highlight=Propeller+II
But this one gives enough detail to confirm that it is, indeed, talking about the Propeller 2: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/85039-Additional-Propeller?highlight=Propeller+II
Chip says in this thread: "We plan to make a 64-I/O-pin version of the current Propeller soon. It will be·identical, except for the addition of a 32-pin 'B' port, and of course a bigger package with more pins. This chip should be ready in six months. We are also working on the next-generation Propeller chip,·which will be an order of magnitude faster than the current chip. It is·probably a year away."
....probably a year away....
...he was off by just a little.
PM me your mailing address and I'll send this kit your direction!

I dunno, I think he might STILL be right.
