PLAN B analog blog

Gino speaks the truth!  If you've noticed, there have been times 
over the past year where the peter at buzzclick-music email 
address has been down.  As it turned out, this email address 
was hacked to send out over 200,000 spam letters and not my 
ISP, but my DSL provider, SBC, has now restricted me from 
receiving mail from that account due to over 65,000 replies 
received from that spamming.  The only place where it isn't 
blocked is from yahoogroups registries.  If you have questions 
regarding delivery - please contact Don Hassler.  If you need me 
directly, I am at peter at ear-group dot com.

As far as late responses for those who may be already sending 
to the ear address - I need to give an outline of outstanding 
orders currently on the books along with Dennis' two Serge 
panels:

- Two custom Miltons
- A custom Milton expander
- Two custom M15's, a M12 and M13 for a gentleman in Florida
- Two M15s with Modcan facplates
- A M15 board-only order for another Modcan customer who 
made his own faceplate
- Six M15's, two M12's, one each M13 and M17 which were either 
sent to old addresses, or require custom work -  such as 
integration to Modcan faceplates. There is also one warranty 
repair.

These are items which were placed before the Analogue Haven 
arrangement and all of them will be shipped over the next two 
weeks.  We have recently delivered over 50 Plan B units to AH,  
have more orders pending there, and a new order from a 
European dealer.  Add to that four products currently in 
development and the upcoming Musikmesse show to prepare 
for.

My two interns and I are working diligently to complete all of 
these open items listed above.  There are over 86 M15 
customers, over 60 M12, 13 and 17 customers and 10 custom 
Milton customers who dealt with us directly who have their 
products, who know that nothing gets overlooked and that Plan B 
is in business to fulfil orders.  However, if in the process of 
completing these, if I cannot respond to emails immediately now 
you have an idea why. If you need immediate status -which is 
totally understandable, we have provided a means by which to 
do that. Please contact Don Hassler  - that's what he's there for.  

As far as of fulfillment, we have addressed this situation long 
term by taking on one, soon to be two highly qualified retail 
outlets to handle our distribution.  So far they are doing a 
marvelous job with this and we have been keeping up with 
delivery requirements to meet demand. Further, we are making 
arrangements for outsourcing production. In short, thanks to your 
support, Plan B is turning the corner from a cottage to a 
small-sized production operation and I believe we are doing the 
right things to negotiate that turn successfully.
