That was the nice thing about the way Roger did it.  Worst case was
your deposit was tied up for about 6 weeks if you ordered when he
started talking pre-orders.  If there had not been enough, the refunds
would have happened at the end of the pre-ordser period.  He also had
his projected ship month set so that if he did move ahead, you knew
about when your module(s) would ship.  I believe that the deposit was
20% so it was not that big an amount.  Just enough to make you think!

However, it is only one of many ways to do things.  MOTM has a number
of modules I'm considering, and I'll probaably end up ordering
something after New Years.  I just don't dknow what yet!
