Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Folks,

I've voted for keeping the current standard. One of the benefits
that hasn't been mentioned is the ability to buy used modules and
know that they will fit-in well. I've bought a number of used
modules and have been extremely pleased with them. I like the idea
of having a "standard."

I also happen to have a number of PCBs and third-party modules
(i.e. Blacet, Tellun, Oakley, etc.) that I've bought and was looking
forward to buying Stooge-MOTM panels that look as close to Paul's as
possible. Maybe I'm being too picky, but that's what I was hoping
for.

A second concern is what effect will this have on future cottage
industry sales. Right now, if I was considering offering a new module
to the MOTM community, I pretty much know what the paneling needs to
be. If the "community" starts to splinter into several custom panel
formats, then I'd probably just forget about it.

I understand the hassels that go along with the current "standard,"
but I really hope to be able to stay with it. And I'm willing to pay
more and wait longer to stick with it.

That's my very personal opinion, respectfully submitted,
Greg James
