MOTM

a) Hopefully many of you have received kits from the new 'MOTM factory'. The 
factory is limited now by front panels. I am giving them 1 more list of orders 
'ready to ship' for 2004. I have yelled, pleaded and begged for more panels. 
This is like teaching a pig to sing. Stay tuned.

b) When I give the 'all clear' to ship, the order may contain items that they 
ship plus items *I* ship. However, you are charged the total amount. So, don't 
panic if you get 1 MOTM-800 and a $500 charge. The charge covers all kits that 
are *shippable*.

c) Later this week (Fri/Sat) I will ship some 300/310 VCOs and some 900/950 
power supplies.

d) I still plan (down to the wire!) to ship 30ea of the "quick kit" 480/485s. If 
you sent me the acknowledgement email, then PLEASE be SURE you have the $$$ in 
your VISA/MC by the 18th. If MOTM is to show a profit for 2004, the ENTIRE 
profit is this 480/485 shipment. Pitiful to be sure :(  But, the massive kit 
build-up has so far cost me over $18,000 and some of those expenses are due this 
year (thankfully no all). Yep, this is a lot of effort for a staggering $10,000 
annual profit. I think that next year will be MUCH better in that area as newer, 
higher ASP (Average Selling Price) modules ship.

e) If you DO get an error in a kit, be sure to email ME and I will take care of 
it.

f) BTW: the new Modcan panels are not white, they are a very pale *green*.
