      Hi Alyssa,
      if you Noticed that The Number of Backers went from 100 to 99 that was me ! I tried to enter my New Address but It always insists on asking for my American Zip Code, 10 Digit Phone Number and US State or it wont close...Grrrrrrrr. So I had to Cancel Everything ! Then came in and had to Start from Scratch which is what I did !!!!! Phew......... I still live in Brisbane, New Hampshire, 03275 Australia ! What a Joke . So before you start sending stuff out we'll have to Confirm my REAL Address.
      Mahalo.
      Peter.
