State of mind
2001-01-09 by Paul Schreiber
I *think* I have the NAMM booth situation under control. Thanks to everyone offering assistance to do 6 weeks of work in 10 days. I look forward to getting 8 hours of sleep tonite! Certainly, the wheels of industry turn on. I have 50 MOTM-910s that will start to ship out tomorrow. Since these are a 'quick hit', if you ordered these in addition to other stuff, you *may* get a split shipment. Why? I *need* to pay the $3,894 (so far) for NAMM crap. (Eric & Tony, your bill arrives soon!) And, as some of you are aware, quarterly income taxes are due! The joy! The kitting backlog is almost to the point of being able to ship to 0%. I am beating the poor tech students until they sweat blood (they thought electronics was *glamourous*! HA! ) I will try to ship as much as I can this week. If you get nothing by say Wednesday of next week, then chances are you *won't* get a shipment until the end of the month. I will be gone the 17th to the 22nd. I probably won't have time to get the '101 to the pcb shop. I need to take the prototype to NAMM. I am also borrowing a '100 from Stooge Larry, who hasn't seen it in months. Thanks for the demos I have received. I will try this weekend to upload some of them. If my remote mail FTP is active, I will upload a NAMM page every night with photos (if I can get the card reader to work on the laptop USB port). I may be so exhausted that I'm in bed by 8PM. We'll see. I'm not a wild party, stay up all night person. I still plan for this to be a record year (with or without NAMM). Many modules are going to come out, now that the kitting is under control. The taped resistors will speed things up by 20-30%. I am *hoping* that enough assembled orders (yes, IN WOOD CASES!) will result at NAMM so I can have the assembly house start wave-soldering the '300, '320, and '440 pcbs (the min to run is 50pcs per pcb). And, I am *thinking* of releasing a tiny little sequencer. If I get asked 1 zillion times at NAMM, then I'll do it. The..err...MicroMoe. Off to bed! Yippeee!! Paul S.
