Please forgive me Dallas but I have read your message 1/2 dozen times
already and I can't think of any other way of saying this but what in
jesus name are you talking about?

Is this some kind of a do it yourself kit that needs to be assembled?

I went to that anula website and for the life of me I still can't
figure out what all of these things are?

IOW what the hell are you trying to sell for $3,000 ?

I can buy a nice Mac with some great software for that price.

What makes your system so expensive?

Sorry for my ignorance, but I am just a musician who is quite confused
by your message.
I have a sneaking suspician I am not the only one so you might consider
altering your post to include some description as to exactly what it is
you are selling.

Cheers.
Amar
