official word from the new 
president of Outback Power just now posted on the Outback Forum:<br>

<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Hello Outback Community,<br>


  <br>


My name is Marshall Neipert, the new president of Outback Power. As some
 of you may have heard, Outback Power has recently been purchased from 
EnerSys in a private sale. Although the official announcement was 
scheduled for the end of May, the ongoing issues with Optics RE have 
prompted me to address the community earlier.<br>


  <br>


I want to assure you that despite the transition to new ownership, the 
hosting of Optics RE has not yet moved to Outback Power. It remains 
hosted by EnerSys. I met with the lead tech at EnerSys responsible for 
hosting Optics RE early Monday morning. He assured me that they have 
identified the problem and are working diligently to bring Optics RE 
back online as soon as possible.<br>


  <br>


I will personally keep you updated on the progress here in this forum, 
and we hope to resolve the issue very soon.<br>


  <br>


This is not how I envisioned my introduction to the Outback community, 
but under the circumstances, I wanted to assure you that I am committed 
to maintaining open communication and ensuring that Outback Power is in 
good hands.<br>


  <br>


Please keep an eye out for our upcoming press release, which will 
include exciting hints about the incredible, disruptive products Outback
 Power will be releasing soon.<br>


  <br>


Sincerely,<br>


  <br>


Marshall Neipert<br>


President, Outback Power</blockquote>

Hope that helps to clear things up!<br>

<br>

Best,<br>
