Sorry to hammer on this, but I agree with the above. The 130 has always
ranked high on preference lists, so I ∗assume∗ that buyers are
interested and that it will sell relatively well.

The micro modules are very nice - nice functionality in 'small' space.
The 500 series (from what little I have gleened from short posts) appears
also to have lots of potential.

However, when I see modules that I perceived to be "in production" not
progressing, and then pushed farther down the queue to make way for more
recently conceived modules, then I start to wonder when I can anticipate
the "in production" modules come to the customer purchase stage. It might
help us plan a bit if modules were designated as in the 'idea' stage
(which would include the 'research' prototype stage) or in the
'production' stage (i.e., parts being purchased, ordering to start soon).
For example, is the 450 in the 'idea' stage or is it to be produced before
the 130 and sem filter?

Anyway, it's Paul's business/hobby and, of course, he can run it as he
sees fit. Maybe I'm just after a little more 'planning structure' than is
allowable by such a business. (And I keep looking at that 2U 'hole' where
I plan to put the 130 ...)
