all, to all those waiting on the 9100 keyboard wedge.&nbsp; I have to
apologize.&nbsp; My wife and I are expecting our first child on the

I could have possibly imagined.</font></blockquote>

now pretty much &quot;ready&quot; for her arrival I now have a little
time over the next few days to try and get a few last game things
caught up. I do have to do them in the order that I received them
which means the wedges are 3rd in my list of priority right
now.&nbsp;Luckily the part that still needs work is software and I can
do that upstairs on my laptop after she has arrived.&nbsp; So don't
give up hope yet :)</font></blockquote>
