a) I will try to sort out the reversed cables tomorrow and will give an 
update whenever I hear something. I have ~ 10 assembled modules to ship 
Mon/Tues that I will 'borrow' correct power cables from kits previously made 
up. But then I will stop doing that so I'll have kits to ship out this week 
as well. Hopefully the new company can get me corrected cables by the end of 
the week.

b) MOTM-190 panels arrived, MOTM-650 panels due July 20th.

c) I am out of the special bi-color LED used in the MOTM-320 and will look 
for a replacement. Some kits will require soldering wires to the LED (the 
older LED has red/black wires pre-soldered). I will have to call Lumex as it 
looks from their website this particular LED/lens assembly is no longer 
offered.

d) I'm still going to finish all of the kits up this week (even if I have to 
wait for power cables) then go back to assembled modules. The assembled 
backlog is still large and it will be many weeks until it gets to the < 20 
level. Shane & I will be soldering for ~ 3 straight weeks this month and 
that will probably be a 30% overall reduction. So, it will be into August to 
get the backlog level substantially reduced.

e) remember: if you want an order shipped "with a tracking number", you need 
to:

1) use EMS Express (both US and Foreign)
2) for *US ONLY* you can specify Fed-Ex Ground in the COMMENT field of the 
order page, the cost is the *same* as Priority Mail. For people receiving 
large/heavy/expensive shipments, I usually ship Fed-Ex Ground anyway.
