Subject: Stooge products update

OK, Yesterday afternoon, I got through the massive training session I had
been planning for weeks (on top of all my regular work). So, except for all
the limbs trees in my yard and grass that has not been mowed this year, I am
getting back to normal. My average work day since about last Tuesday has
been between 14 and 16 hours (and that included Saturday and Sunday).

I apologize for the delay in the response to cable orders and other items.
Now, that I have that behind me, I can press forward. Here is the update:

Cable orders: I will be processing these over the next day or two and
getting all invoices out this weekend. I will place the actual order on
Monday. So, if you have procrastinated, my long work days = your good luck.
You can still send me that last minute order if you like.

Stooge Panels: There has been much behind-the-scene work concerning new
designs. We are working on those. If you have things you want in this
upcoming run, now is a good time to be discussing what that might be with
Dave and I.

Flat rails: I just picked these up from the metal shop. I need to run the
4000 screws into the holes and send them off to powder coat. These will be
back in stock soon.

19" rack power supply panels (for SKB cases): These are in process right
now. I plan to offer these for sale in a variety of options from just the
blanks panel with all the holes in the right spot, to a completely assemble
version (you send me your MOTM-900 or I buy one directly from Paul). I have
16 panels coming for this conversion. I also have a few more panels coming
that will have just the AC connector, fuse, and a switch all mounted on the
panel you can buy and mount up any power supply you already have. Look for
more information on these in about 4 weeks when I have them in my hands and
ready to sell. I'm not competing with Paul on Power supplies, just offering
a mounting / conversion process for power supplies you buy from him, or
otherwise might have. My original design includes 4 optional mults. If you
are trying to save space in your SKB pop up by putting the power supply in
the 2U space, I figured that you might also like to save the space otherwise
taken by a mults panel.

SKB backs: I'm going to ask the metal shop if they will consider a small
run of these when I am ordering all my other metal. If you sent me an
e-mail saying you were interested, I saved it. If you are interested in
these and have not sent me an e-mail, please do so.

Stooge Larry (feeling human again).
