I know what you mean.  I also planned on taking advantage of the 
points system to double up on modules I wouldn't have bought 
otherwise.  What annoys me, is that Paul bases it on modules shipped, 
rather than modules purchased.  Not only does that slow everything 
down, it's especially unfair when a price increase excludes modules 
after you've already earned enough points.  The old catalog said, 
"For every module you buy, you get one point."  If I place an order 
and send in the money, then there is nothing left for me to do on my 
end to "buy" a module.  If it hasn't shipped, that's not my fault. 
It's bad enough I'm still waiting for production modules from 
November, but there is no physical reason why points should be held 
up on backorder.
