MOTM

Due to a death in my wif'es family, limited shipping until May 25th.

Paul S.

Today *was* my last scheduled day to ship until  Jan. 7th. However, there are still <10 orders I
need to get out. So, probably Tuesday will be the last day.

Now for some "bad" news: MOTM-310s will not ship until after Christmas. When exactly, I don't
know. I will probably ship on Jan. 2nd to assure everyone is back from the holidays. I just ran
out of time. Trust me, it wasn't for lack of trying (15 18hr days in a row, Sat and Sun
included).

Now, if you a) haven't received an email with the subject "MOTM shipment" and b) won't be at your
normal shipping location and c) have stuff on order that's NOT a VCO or uVCO, then........email
me privately and I'll hold off until Jan. 2nd. Else, I will try like crazy to ship by Tuesday.

But Tuesday will be it, nada, zip, end of the 2001 season.

On a positive note:

a) *shipped* modules increased 48% over last year.
b) if I could wave a magic wand and ship everything on order, the total module count shipped (not
rails, blanks, etc) is about 2825. To put things in perspective, Moog shipped about 6700 modules
over a 9 year period. By the end of next year, there will be close to 4000 MOTM modules in the
field. That's amazing to me. This entails:

48,000 plastic bags
about 50 rolls of solder
about 3.5 miles of wire
about 375,000 individual parts (no wonder I have rough hands)

Already, MOTM has been heard on MTV and Nick promos, Infinity car commercials, 7 film
soundtracks, 2 vinyl and 4 CD releases.

I'm sorry, if for your order, I came up the Grinch. I'd like to thank each and every one of you
for supporting 'my little hobby' for the last 3 1/2 years, and I look forward to more long
hours....errrr....next year :)

Happy Holidays,

Paul S and the gang (JH, Scott, the Stooges)
