That's all pretty much part of the business plan once I get running
properly.

The advantage (I hope !) of running my own business will be that I can spend
time with the boy when he's awake and in a good mood, and get on with
growing the business the rest of the time.
I'd certainly like to see the P3 user base grow as big as possible.
Otherwise I might have to go back to working for the man.

I've not really had the time to get through much of the outstanding waiting
list, simply because there aren't enough hours in the day - but that will
change next week.
I have enough stock of boards to cover the outstanding kit and ready-bult
waiting lists, but my lead times are pretty short anyway, so I don't expect
to be out of stock at any time - I'll re-order in time for new boards to
arrive before the current stock is gone.
I've got a few ready-built units and kits out so far, but it's hard work
doing it at night.

Cheers,
