Having read the cautionary notes at
https://www.truebox.co.uk/trueboxportal/index.php?wk=OpenMokoCaution2
I've decided that I too will wait for a future release the FreeRunner.

(The telly went on the blink this morning, which is one more expense
pushing the FreeRunner down the list of priorities.)

It's a pity -- I've been looking forward to playing the the new toy.

So I'll remove my name from the list on the wiki and let the next person
in the queue move themselves up.

Have fun.

cheers

Chris
