A fair question, and one which has been very much on my mind. JUST A GUESS-Pentrex was having a difficult time lately, but they haven't said anything publicly. If you noticed, not many other producers are putting out new material- promised titles in series either have not come out or been delayed. Green Frog's CNvol.4 came out earlier this year with material shot 6-10 years ago. With the HD DVD format issue still unsettled, don't expect much, until it's settled.

Have they stopped sending mailings, too? I haven't been receiving any more for the past couple years. I guess all companies are being hurt by the high gas prices, and the high costs of shipping stuff...and since consumers are, too, they can't buy much of anything, so the companies have less income, greater costs. So we just have to figure out how to make vehicles run on water, and we'll all be okay...

I wish that they would come out w/ some new stuff though... just to show how much stuff has changed.. i.e. the BNSF logos and etc.
