Doug,

Yeah, we were overly optimistic based on the best info at the time.  Now I'm
blushing!  Good news it that beta's going well(yeah, normal debugging) and
the sun will soon rise over a bright new horizon.  We have started filling
the huge backlog of orders for production MX 60's.

Regards,

Hi Wes,

  You're unlikely to dredge up any FX2000 experiences because NOBODY's
got one yet! The folks at Outback are still busy squashing bugs, and
even the beta test inverters haven't been released in any numbers. I'd
be happy to throw a 1.5 hp subpump, a 5 hp air compressor, and various
fluoresent and metal halide lights at my beta units...if and when they
show up! So despite ads in the current Homepower from eager southern
Oregon distributors (right Bob?), very, very few people have had a
chance to play with Outback's new toys. (...but I'm SO ready...)
