Subject: Update

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>

a) Charles Stella has left the building. However, he left behind lots of
MOTM-510 kits and assembled pc boards AND got my ProTools to at least talk to
the Digi 002 system.

b) As the end-of-the-year shipping schedule looms 1 week away, I will spend all
of Sunday doing the "last and final" kit/assembled inventory. Meaning, if you
want to take delivery of a module ∗this year∗, you need to get the order in by
no later than this coming Wednesday. There are 22 MOTM-480s unspoken for.
MOTM-300 VCOs always have the longest lead-times, so if you need one before Feb
1st now is the time. Remember, it costs ∗nothing∗ to place the order (just need
to have the $$$ available when ready to ship). AND, you can always specify a
'hold time', like "Please ship after Nov. 15th".

c) if you think your order has fallen into a black hole, now is the time for me
to look for it. Remember, it's MUCH PREFERRED to order stuff/add to an existing
order using the oddly named 'Order Form'. These are placed in a separate InBox
folder, they are printed, and kept in a cool, dry place. Emails are added to the
pile, and right now I have 1142 emails in my In Box :(

d) Please check the expiration dates or credit card changes on existing orders.
As I get closer to Dec. 15th (last day modules shipped until Feb. 1st), by
patience gets thinner with rejected credit cards.

f) This coming week, which is the last week I have to wait for the front panels
to arrive, will be split between assembled modules and preparing the CDROM
manual. The Version 1.0 is not going to be 'slick', just lots of raw data. The
manuals are split into 3 parts: the tact, the schematics and the artwork. This
is just a by-product of Acrobat: I'm sure I can combine them but I really don't
have the time as I ∗also∗ need to prepare a DVD for my father's 80th birthday in
2 weeks. If there are any Mac video gurus out there, contact me off list :)

Again, in order to balance the cash flow, I'm doing inventory tomorrow and
modules will 'freeze' on Wednesday. Thanks for putting up with my erratic
business sense.
