Dear God, that was a gruesome sight to behold! I hope they recover swiftly and smoothly.

Hope everyone at DV are alright. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the earthquake.

I urge everyone to donate to the Red Cross to help the survivors of the great earthquake. $1 isn't too little, $1 million isn't too much!

They should be fine, once a new building is found in which to set up operations...looks to be mostly mess clean up, rather than actual damage to products or equipment.

Hope everything's fine. But as what bOUddha said, doesn't look like there would be any fatalities aside from dead amps and tubes.

I hope everyone is OK. Everything else can be fixed or replaced but it's the people who matter now.

Gah don't make a mourning thread into a flame thread please and thank you. Anyone can choose whoever they wish to send their best wishes to. Geez. If you don't like people sending their wishes to specific people, hold your tongue and keep it to yourself.
