Default Yearly high-school reunion of sorts last week. Found out that a former classmate co-owns Carbonio

Started it out with his brother a few years back as a "hey, why don't we give this a try?" venture.

Good for him...I wish them luck. (Even though they don't make stuff for the B5)<ul><li><a href="http://www.carbonio.net/performance_home.htm">Carbonio Performance</a></li></ul>

Default Him and his bro were members of the Volks Motorsport Club that Mark and I ran a few years back

Gave them crap at one of the Waterfest shows as the only way to buy their product now is through APR... ...APR handles all of their distribution as far as I know.

Which sucks for one Canadian company trying to deal with another Canadian company...

Bad for me, great for them I guess!

Default We briefly discussed his distribution "network" - it sounded like he was happy with APR

although he did mention that the phones have quieted down, which leads me to believe that if sales dry up via APR in the longer term, he may have to expand that network of one.
