JH. Triple Chorus Order Countdown

All right - I think we should proceed to the next step soon.
I want you to get your Triple Chorus boards before Christmas, and that means 
it's time for me to place an order at the PCB factory.

My impression of the TDA1022 situation is that it's not as bad as some of 
you thought - right? I figure most of you have them by now, and the chances 
are good for the others that there will be new finds of this chip locally, 
so I *think* with a little trading and/or the proposed group orders everyone 
should be able to get the 3 chips sooner or later.

Nevertheless, I'll give you the opportunity to cancel your order now if you 
don't have the chips yet and don't want to take any chances. So despite of 
what was written at the bottom of the order form, you can cancel your order 
now - that is, before Tuesday 06.11.2007. When I have placed my order at the 
PCB house on Wednesday, I consider your orders as binding.
If you want to cancel your order, please use the same email adress and email 
alias that you used for sending the order form, and write
CANCEL my Triple Chorus order in the Subject line of the mail.

Also, if you haven't ordered anything yet, and still want to, send the order 
form to me till Tuesday 06.11.2007.

I understand that it takes some confidence to order PCBs if you don't have 
the chips in your hand already.
Personally, I have the confidence that eventually enough chips will show up, 
and I will make a few more boards than I get orders for, at my own risk. But 
don't rely on that. I got a lot of requests for Tau boards after the 
deadline, and we all were lucky that the PCB house made a lot more boards 
that I had ordered (I had to pay them - it's in the small print).
The only way you can be sure to get a board is when you order it now. Later, 
it's first come, first serve.

Looking forward to hear from you,

JH.
