He didn't seem to happy about the project, but he did show me the prototype.

Wested referred me to www.rocketbobs.com, which doesn't have anything on it. Just a big "Coming Soon".

So, can anybody refer me to some Rocketeer fansites or forums? Peter emailed saying to keep checking www.rocketbobs.com

Unfortunately, rocketbobs doesn't appear to be fully operational.

Thanks in advance.
