OK, I'll guess at some:

> The release of what piece of equipment took the MOTM Compressor/Limiter
off the list of upcoming
modules list (Hint: many fellow Texans helped design it)?

LH: RNC compressor.

> What modules have been retired (I wanted to ask this again for people who
weren't around the last
time I posted this)?

LH: MOTM-100, MOTM-110

> Name one of Paul's patents (bonus points for each extra one you get). How
many patents does Paul
hold either by himself or jointly?

LH: Something to do with that Multimeter design at Tandy in one of them.
Maybe jointly held with Doug Cutris.

> What popular vintage synth did Paul help design (Hint: It has increased
in value 12 to 15 times
over the past 10 years.)? What more well-known synth did that evolve into?

LH: As I remember (which sometimes is no good), the Radio Shack MG-1 which
was actually modeled after the Moog Rouge (with typical Tandy cost cutting
methods and cheesy polyphonic sound applied).

> What was the original purpose of creating Synthesis Technology (Hint: It
was not to make MOTM)?

LH: Selling CEMs ? Or, as a DIY synth building resource ?

> How many Moog modules (and not the new ones) were sold?

LH: In the neighborhood of 6870 ?

> How many MOTM modules have been sold to date?

LH: What "to-date?" Sold or shipped? HA! Iimpossible question. Shipped,
I'll guess 5400.

> Who was the first MOTM customer?

LH: Steve (ezboy) can't remember the last name right now ?? He is the
missing moderator from this list.

> What was the first MOTM module?

LH: MOTM-110 - only one with a CEM chip, followed by the MOTM-120 and
MOTM-700.

> Whose basic design is used for the MOTM-800 (EG)?

LH: Thomas Henry

> At Synthesis Technology's first NAMM appearance, who did they share a
booth with (2 companies)?

LH: Encore and Metasonix

> You normally see posts from Moe, Larry and Shemp. Who is Curly on the
list?

LH: The quite one - John Barlow
