MOTM

This is great news. I'm definitely looking forward to playing around with
this subscription module.

I hope it works out. I'll definitely be looking for at least 2 of these.
I'm impressed - it sounds like you're making good progress in spite of
everything else that's going on.

Let's hope there's no more of this crap. I live in southwestern CT and it's
affected everyone I know in one way or another. I've been out of work since
April, and three of my friends just lost their jobs over the past two weeks
(software development). I'm hoping everything remains stable for you.

Addiction is *not* a luxury, it is a way of life. ;)

I'll be looking for 2 of those 130's as well. If that wave warper comes
out, that would be super. And the Ladder or the SEM would be icing.

Please don't start powering down - there is hope. After all, nearly all of
my orders have occurred whilst being unemployed. And once I get a job....

Already got 4, now waiting for the 130s.

1) Further proof that MOTM is #1 in quality. 2) Makes me feel better about
my current level of technical ability.
