Quick update after a nightmare week (college room-mate died suddenly while
bike-riding, had to fly to funeral and round up the other 3 room-mates in 48
hours, Google strikes again! Sadly, he leaves 2 children 14 and 12yrs old and a
wife of 19 years). And about 1 hour ago, my VGA cable decided to short out, I'm
typing this with a pink and purple screen :(

a) despite everything, I ∗have∗ finished fully re-stocking the following: '190s,
'800s, '910s, 950s, '101s and '120s. I should have not only enough to ship all
kit backlog, but enough to last until the fall. The '910s are made with a larger
gauge wire this time, and are solder-dipped. So, the wire has a layer of solder
on it, but it's actually ∗better∗ built than before. I sort of like the look :)

b) I just bought $1600 worth of wire, that should last me until the winter. I'm
low on the short coax cables, but have enough to ship about 10 assembled modules
out.

c) I now have '960s in stock, so I'll get those out to those waiting on them.

d) This week will be spent on the VCO kitting ('310s and then '300s) because
there are ~30 of these on order. Also, I need to ∗actually ship something∗ so I
can pay myself for the $14,000 spent on parts so far this year :( I'm operating
in the red, I need to get out and at least break even shortly. But as my friend
Mel used to say, "You can't sell apples from an empty cart."

e) Once the VCOs are kitted, I will kit up the '510 WaveWarpers. Tony and Drew:
you have one, any feedback??!?

f) The '650 MIDI-CV is getting a small bug fixed in the microtuning tables, but
so far it's looking ∗really∗ good. In April I plan to ship the '480 filter and
work on the final pc boards/front panel for the '650.
