Just wondering if I missed something. I had thought Parallax had a "Big" announcement slated for today.

    The announcement will be this week. OPC attendees/viewers already know about it.

    Jen, I think NWCCTV must be talking about the new Parallax reality TV program called "Chip Dynasty" where we modify a tortilla machine to print Propeller dies. There's also that episode where Chip shows up at Parallax and wants to covert the building into a restaurant, and MattG fights with the local authorities over the new smoke stack.

    NWCCTV, I hope it's the life-changing experience you're waiting for! It's nearly been dribbled out on the forums in several pieces already. Are you sure you can't piece together the story by now?

    Maybe it's the availability of the Propeller Activity Board. They showed that Saturday. They were saying $49, which is a pretty nice price for what you get.

    Thanks for the laugh Publison!

    That's a Tortilla machine with chopped walnuts, right?

    I thought the Prop2 "test chip" unboxing video would be posted today. Common Parallax, grab a camera give us a peek! :)

    I love Parallax. They are willing to share what is going on.. The Good, the Bad, and even the Ugly at times.

    Thanks for being so open Parallax!

    Ah gees, I guess I will have to wait like everyone else, except for the lucky ones that were able to make it to OPC!!!!

    Maybe it's the availability of the Propeller Activity Board.
    That looks almost like the Prop BOE. If it is only $49.00 I will be in for a couple!!!

    I can think of three things, one is the the new Propeller Activity Board already mentioned and for the other two, one is faster and the other is simpler.

    Actually, it may be something else because one of those weren't mentioned on Saturday, maybe I wasn't paying attention and missed it.

    I think faster is now later but simpler is still sooner. ...and then there's the Activity board which is really cool!

    (and a good tortilla machine is forever!!)
