Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

a) Hope all the MOTMers in the US NE region (NYC/Philly/CT) are snug and warm.
They are getting a nasty blizzard about right now. Here in Texas, tonight it's
getting to 24F, the coldest day so far. But it will be 68F by Wednesday :)

b) I have spent all day today going over my email in-basket. I started with 1127
emails. I've got it down to 242. Tomorrow I am gathering up all the "where is my
stuff" emails, verifying the contents, and passing what I can over to Paul H.
for shipping. There may be a delay on some kits as we are out of some front
panels. I did get my wire in so I can finish the '300 kits this coming week
(yea!).

c) all of the '650 pc boards except the main CPU will arrive this week. On
Friday I will take them to the stuffing house. The CPU boards arrive the 22nd. I
expect all of these will be returned to me soldered by March 8th. It will take
me 1 full week to get the first set of 20 ready to ship. This is still on track
for March 15th. The SW team is hard at work cleaning up the code. There is a PC
(followed later by Mac) program that will allow code updates flashed in over
MIDI. I will have a file area for updates. My plane is to ship all pending
MOTM-650 orders by April 1st.

d) Also due April 1st are Frac modules to Analog Haven. As you see, the next 6
weeks I'm a busy guy. So now is a last chance for a while to inquire about
modules owed. I may not respond back, but I ∗do∗ file all of these requests and
as time allows (most of tomorrow, then sporadically until April) will reconcile
them. Trust me, I don't enjoy this but neither do you wondering "why can't he
keep track of all this?". Did I mention ∗1127 emails∗ plus another 500 or so in
various folders? Ack......but after tomorrow, I just can't work on this
"housekeeping" any longer, I have to get this stuff shipped because sitting over
here on the desk is about $11,000 in bills to pay (bills were $18K in Dec and
$19K in Jan) and I need the cash flow coming in to pay them. That would be
MOTM-650s :)

e) I have ordered the vertical jacks for the '730 Pulse Divider, they will
arrive at the end of March. The Pulse Divider is the next "new" module followed
by the '810 CV EG.

f) Monday I will add the assembled modules to the new order page and redirect to
it. I see 44 folks have "signed up", if you are one that has not please do so:

www.synthtech.com/catalog

I have asked one of our talented photographers on the list to take nice photos
of the modules for the ordering pages and these will then be in the PDF catalog.

g) Don't forget, Robert Rich is going on tour this spring with the MOTM to
promote the new 95% MOTM CD "Electric Ladder" which I think is shipping this
coming Friday: www.robertrich.com
