Also, these are all VERY EASY kits to build,
perfect gifts and for novice DIY.

Paul, I am significantly disappointed that timing of micro modules does not
coincide with that time of year when we have to find something for our wives
for Christmas. I cannot think of anything I would rather buy my wife for
Christmas than a handful of micro modules. <snicker intended>

--PS--
The main cost of these is the front panel. I am looking at a new supplier
that may help. Ask
Stooge Larry about dealing with metal shops (you take a shower after every
phone call). I would
∗love∗ to offer a $69 kit, but the panel cost needs to be 1/3rd of the
current price. I am not
happy with the pricing and lead times of my current supplier. The quality is
fine, I can drive
there to pick up. But they just view me as "small potatoes". I am paying
$13.70 for the panels,
which is WAY TOO MUCH.

"stepping out of shower"
Ditto. For Stooge panels we don't have the luxuary of one stop panels. We
deal with 3 different vendors - 1= metal guy (shower time), 2= paint guy
(how much did you say?), 3=screen print guy (our hero). As you can see,
Dave and I have just about made enough money from you guys to retire in
style <yet another snicker>

--PS--
There are many designs left to offer, just keep
buying to keep the cash flow positive :)

Build it and they will come.
