Welcome back, hope you're doing well.

Just copying this post I sent you last year, not sure if you saw it / there 
is/was any issues with the 64 bit build but just wanted to spotlight this 
should you be doing any checking/work on Mystic in the coming period.

Also do you envisage a release of A49 in the coming months? If yes, I going to 
hold off any any video updates until after that's out.
