...as MOTM builders for Paul, probably. :) Things have gotten to the
point that he has ∗got∗ to be going crazy trying to build modules for
customers that order more and more new ones every day. Then there is the
kitting up of parts for we who build our own, and the ordering of parts,
the layout of boards and panels for new modules...the process is going to
become astonishingly difficult for one man to manage this year. In fact,
I suspect it has already gone past this stage.

Still, to get 1000 modules out the door in two years as a solo effort is
rather impressive. Of course, lots of R&D contributed by the others Paul
has mentioned made these modules possible, but while the engineers only
have to make one or two prototypes, guess who has to kit up or build every
production model...

I wonder what would happen if Paul ran an ad in Keyboard,
