Cable ordering is officially closed. Whew !!

The rest of this is mostly cable trivia (since some people found this
interesting) If your not interested, delete prior to boring yourself
<snicker> I have not added my personal cable order yet. It will certainly
be around 100. But before my order, here is what you guys did:

46 customers ordered 1780 cables
Therefore, the average order was just under 39 cables

3 foot cables were the most popular at 494 followed closely by 2 foot cables
at 460

278 different combination of cable color, heat shrink, and length were
ordered.
The most popular cables were:
# 1 - 2 foot blue / black heat shrink @ 68
# 2 - 3 foot green / black heat shrink@ 64
# 3 - 2 foot red / black heat shrink @ 56

The biggest order was 128 cables
The smallest was 4 cables.

In addition to the USA, cables are being shipped internationally to four
countries.

Since we reached 1000 cables, I was able to get a 50 cent per-cable discount
over the already low prices I quoted you. I split the savings two ways: 1.
everyone will get an instant 25 cent per cable rebate on their order. So in
effect, the price is 25 cents a cable lower. I am applying the other 25
cents per-cable toward the logo printing cost. Paul was gracious and agreed
to pay for the logo printing. But, at 1780 cables, it was a chunk of cash.
The 25 cents per cable will significantly reduce his cost for giving us all
logos.

I am not keeping any of the savings because I am already making enough on
the deal to buy all my own cables AND put some cash in my pocket to boot.
So, it looks like a win-win deal for everyone. For those that missed out or
didn't need cables this time around, I will do this again when enough people
are ready. Look for additions to the cable page before then. For those
that might want solid colors, I will also have a line of somewhat less cool
Wise Guy Synth branded cables. :)

Many thanks to everyone that participated. My spreadsheet balances exactly
to the number of each cable ordered. So, I fully anticipate no mistakes
despite 278 different cables to sort and ship.
