MOTM

I was able to ship quite a few kits out last week, and shipping more 
tomorrow. I have to put MOTM aside for most of this coming week, however 
(real work!).

Here is the state of the current backlog:

Orders placed since 3/1/2006: 787
Orders shipped (completed): 669 (~85%)
Orders partially shipped: 38 (~5%)
Orders yet to ship: 80 (~10%)

Note this includes all orders such as 2.0 stuff.

By the end of March, I expect the backlog to drop 50%, to around 50 orders 
not 100% shipped, and by May to 25 orders and then June 1st *0* orders left. 
It's like running a marathon for the *first* time: part of you thinks that 
you will never get there, but if you don't stop, eventually you *will* get 
there. And I've been running now about 2 years in this mode now. It's time 
to finish out, and get ready for the next adventure: AudioEngine stuff. And 
the big folder of JH designs still begging to see the light of day.

Vishay is supposed to ship 400 log pots tomorrow from France to California 
(their US warehouse), so in 2 weeks or so I can start to ship all the 
mixer/VCF kits and modules.

I do expect to start shipping panels with the new paint in about 5 weeks: 
the first batch will be MOTM-300/MOTM-940/MOTM-700.
