MOTM

I've been out of town the last 4 days but have returned to a full in-basket :)

The "freebie point system" is officially closed. Thanks to all customers past 
and present (customer #18 came out after a 2yr quiet period). I know many folks 
were first attracted to MOTM when they heard about the points.

The 15th was also the deadline to get kits on order to ship this year *for 
sure*. Certainly, you can order *anytime*. Last year I swore that I was done on 
Dec 18th, and wound up shipping 17 packages a few days before Christmas.

Needless to say, I have lots of paperwork to wade through. PC boards are on 
order to cover this little 'spike' in orders. I may be short a few panels, I 
will know by the end of next week. Lots of MOTM-190s are on the books, I have 60 
pc boards but less panels than that.

Next week the production MOTM-650 pc boards are ordered. All of the parts are 
here except the DACs and they are due in on the 21st. I am applying pressure to 
the sheet metal vendor to get his act together so I can ship *some* of these 
this year. From the front, the panels look *really nice*. The issues are 
placement of the PEM standoffs on the rear. Not rocket science (cough).

Again, thanks to everyone for supporting my 'little hobby'.
