Wow that looks like a LOT of work. Thanks for putting the index together.
 
Thanks to WJ for putting that list together.  [thumbs up]

Just to let members know, I will be working on a project later this year to make content like SysNotes more accessible and archived on our website. It will be searchable by keyword, date, etc. There's a lot of great content in there so have a look if you're new to Festool or haven't been a subscriber for very long.  And, wow! Looking back on it, I've written quite a few articles and produced quite a few of these over the past couple of years.
 
Wow, thanks Junkie, this is a really useful resource.  Nicely done.
[thanks] [thumbs up]
 
Thank you for making the list. Now it's easy to find an old issue, and point out a rack systainer to my dealer who does not think it is in existence. Or read a good tip on using a festool.

Cheers,
jacques.

The Rack Systainer was a limited time promo item based on my understanding. I don't think it's going to be a regular Tanos or Festool product and wasn't available in all countries. We only have a very limited number of them.
 
Just a quick update, guys. I have added a blog to our website which will serve as a repository for past SysNotes articles as well as the place to find the latest and greatest information about all things Festool (USA/Canada).

http://blog.festoolusa.com/

Again, I'd like to thank WJ for putting together the list above.
 
Great job, Shane!!!  Bravo Zulu to you and Wood_Junkie for the work you have put into this.
