Hi Tom,

This video is amazing, I had no idea you were so far forward! It looks
amazing already!

The only reason you've not had any other response from me is because your
specification for the TOOL Framework looks great. I can't offer anything
above what you've outlined, other than I'm very excited to see it!

Best Regards,

Brian.
