## Availability ##
-A prototype system was operated extensively during the 2017, and based
-on that experience a revised version of the circuit board was designed
-and will be tested eventually. General availability of the TeleStatic
-product is expected by the end of calendar 2018. Watch this space for
-updates on price and availability.
+A prototype system was developed in 2017, and has been in routine use
+ever since. The electronics has been through at least three major
+revisions, none of which have yet made it into production. A "final"
+version is being worked on based on everything learned so far, and
+we hope to have it for sale by the end of calendar 2020. Watch this
+space for updates.
