FROM THE EDITOR Greetings, Avid Water Warrior This is the second issue of the iSoaker.com Rogue Report. There are a lot of things to look forward in the coming months in the soaker world. In the recent past, there has been more and more information coming out about next years Storm and SuperSoaker blasters. iSoaker.com, itself, has received a Max-D 5000 and Max-D 6000 for early preview (the Max-D 6000 review is posted with the Max-D 5000 review coming soon). From current tests, the Max-D 6000 does indeed appear to shoot further than its predacessor, the XP310. Site news: iSoaker.com will be undergoing another upgrade for New Years. The next upgrade will feature some graphical changes as well as some content enhancements. The SuperSoaker.com website will be under development in the next few weeks for a release sometime in January 2002. Overall, it should be an interesting year ahead.
