That was the nice thing about the way Roger did it. Worst case was
your deposit was tied up for about 6 weeks if you ordered when he
started talking pre-orders. If there had not been enough, the refunds
would have happened at the end of the pre-ordser period. He also had
his projected ship month set so that if he did move ahead, you knew
about when your module(s) would ship. I believe that the deposit was
20% so it was not that big an amount. Just enough to make you think!
However, it is only one of many ways to do things. MOTM has a number
of modules I'm considering, and I'll probaably end up ordering
something after New Years. I just don't dknow what yet!
