Subject: The excuses are gone

OK, This note is to any and all MOTM users who are ordering their modules
assembled:

Today, my wife completed her first MOTM module construction. Until a few
months ago, she had never constructed anything electronic or even touched a
soldering iron. Her only experience is helping me on a couple of PAiA
kits. All I did was teach her how to solder and watch her during the
entire process to answer questions and make sure she didn't make any easy
mistakes. I made her read the instructions instead of me telling her what
to do (with one exception). I can explain the attachment of the circuit
board to the front panel quicker than her reading and understanding Paul's
lengthy explaination.

She built the MOTM-800 ADSR (admittedly one of the easier ones). It worked
first time on power up. The only real problem with the whole process is
that now she wants to build more (taking away part of my fun). I have to
find a way to get her to PAY for the ones she builds. If I can get that to
happen, then I will be in MOTM heaven. ROTFLMAO.

Now, if my wife can do it, so can you.
