> a) Thanks to everyone abusing the '650. This sort of thing is needed to assure
> rock-solid code. Jeffrey will hunt down the nasty bugs shortly.
>
> b) Indiana will be getting the Spectrol 149 pots tomorrow, so again: don't
> panic if you get a kit that the instructions say '148' and you get '149'.
>
> c) I am due the wired '510 rotary switches this Friday, so the following week
> the initial 16 sale '510 kits can ship.
>
> d) Indiana kit/parts inventory will finish Tuesday, more kit shipping starts
> Wednesday. When these are shipped, I think that should be most orders up to
> ~#270.
>
> e) I have spent all weekend on assembled modules: '440s mainly and 1 '410
> shipping tomorrow. Next up: all '310 kits on order, from before the shopping
> cart up to #260.
>
> f) I owe Analogue Haven some 1485s as well and need to get those finished.

> g) I received an advance copy of Roger Powell's "Fossil Poets" CD. It's not
> what I 'expected' per se (70s cosmic/prog rock). Rather, it reminds me in many
> places of Jeff Beck's "Wired" and "Blow by Blow" albums. The guitar is
> featured as much as the keyboards are, and both the composition style and
> guitar tone/playing are like these 2 records (BTW: if you are not familiar
> with them, these are classic instrumental rock CDs, highly recommended). One
> track is different, it is more like Cliff Martinez/Jeff Rona (the score to the
> movie 'Traffic", again highly recommended. With synth work by MOTM user Tobias
> Enhus). The MOTM use is more down in the mix, there isn't a 'screaming lead
> line' like Jan Hammer/Chick Corea wailing away, but I smile many places when I
> hear it. Highly recommended, it's nice to support such a great guy as Roger,
> who has gone out of his way to be gracious to me on several occassions. The
> tempo is upbeat, good music to drive to :)
