My travels are on a 10 day break for my real job. I will be able to get back
to shipping this week (Monday is a US holiday, no post office).

The MOTM-730 CPU boards: should get these from assembly by the end of the
week, I plan to ship ∗all∗ the ones on order by Feb. 10th. They are in the
cart :)

I ordered a lifetime supply of Frac pots, so look for more Frac modules in
2009. I am ordering the new BI pots this week for Euro modules with eventual
cut-in to all MOTM modules going forward.

The MOTM-380 panels are 10 days late due to really nasty weather in
Washington state. I will call the supplier Tuesday and get an update, they
ought to be here by Friday.

Shane the tech is working on MOTM-190 assembled boards and then after that,
MOTM-320s. I am building VCOs and MOTM-800s. I am still focusing this month
on assembled backlog, shifting next month to MOTM-730s and finishing the
kits. I also want to get the E340 SuperSaw VCO to prototype by the end of
Feb.

I 'ran the numbers' for the sales for 2008. The total sales were flat from
2007, which I was surprised (thinking 2008 would be less). This is based on
"bookings" and not "shipments". If I can stay flat for 2009 I'd be more than
happy :) I expect money to be tight this year, hopefully I can introduce a
good product mix that will make up the loss of CEM IC sales (that was about
$13,000 last year) so I can keep on plugging along. I haven't run the actual
∗profit∗ number yet, I'd just rather wait until April to find out I'm at
$4/hr.
