I seem to recall that the 32532 (which long ago was known at the 32132
back in the dayes when the 32016 was the 16032...) was to have been in
production last year.  I am confused about this claim of being on schedule
for 5 years.  Do you mean that the project was re-scheduled since 1982
and it is has been on the schedule since then?

In any event, good luck.  I look forward to seeing the 32532 exist.
