Subject: Happy 2009 & thanks for the sale

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>
Date: 2009-01-01

Thanks to everyone for the end-of-year sale. It was more $$$ than I
expected, and I will work hard to get ∗all∗ orders out. I'm working every
day during my 'break' trying to get out ancient assembled modules and
working on the E340 (all of Thursday) and starting Sunday to prepare the
first batch of 15 MOTM-730s for shipment. I haven't even had time to solder
on my all-transistor digital clock :( I did shown it to Shane the tech
today (he dropped off the MOTM-510 assembled pc boards) and like most folks
asked "What's the point of this again?"

Even though 2008 was my lowest total module ship count in the last 10 years
('real word' job and family issues tended to get in the way) I'm still
upbeat going forward and can't wait for 2009 to unfold.

If someone had told me back in 1998 that I'd still be doing this in 2009,
shipping over 8400 modules to over 650 ∗different∗ people and still have
many more ideas left to do, I'd think they were insane. Well, my wife Tammy
thinks that way. Wait 'till she sees my all-transistor clock! That ought to
convince her otherwise (snicker).
