WSJ: Thanks!

John Jurgensen's article on Thumtronics, which was initiated back in October, appears in the Wall Street Journal tomorrow (Friday, 7th December). John -- and the WSJ staff -- put an impressive amount of work into the story. Whether I end up liking the article or not, I applaud their professionalism and diligence.

Thanks, guys! :-)

I just read the article - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119698832376116538.html - it's great. This Thummer tech is awesome. Programming synthesizers via software lacks emotive quality, while playing a keyboard is often a frustrating experience because of the layout of the keys. The Thummer seems to solve both problems. If you can put out an affordable model of this instrument, I'm all in.
