MOTM

What the hell? I give my computer a break for a couple days and... Zoinks!

About to go to bed, so I can't address all the great points and do all the shout-outs and thanks that I want, but as to the demise of 5U... No. 
I just made quite an investment in this format, and I'm looking to expand it. I've sold 50 Lopass Gates EASILY in 5U, so why not 50 MTs? We could start w/ that or the CG, or split the first run between them -- whatever's ready to go. We could do Kickstarter, or I would go to the bank and take out a loan. 

I'm sure I missed it, but what's the minimum board order, Paul? And it's splittable between designs? 

I think we should do it, and do it fast. Whatever 1-3 designs can be rolled out the fastest, let's do it. 

Thanks to everyone for the great discussion!
