Thank you guys from CPR for all that you do for our hobby. I am fascinated to learn about how the whole process works and how complex it is. Thanks for sharing with us.

I know with my own business that when things get hectic sometimes customers get shut out and we hate that from all angles. Kevin, your recognition that better correspondence should be in order is a good thing.

Tomdrum, I would be at least as pissed as you.

Lastly I must confess, I apologize for backing out of my Skateball playfield order. I'll take partial blame on this whole matter.

Quoted from tomdrum:

Also, since 100 hands in the air seems to be the target number, why not show a counter showing how close you are to the target? It would give people an idea of where they are in the list and a possible target date for production. It would give customers another reason to sign up knowing the target number was close.

How ever you do it it gets messy and breaks down. Wait lists, collecting deposits, filling orders, managing lists all distracts from producing product.

Silk screening is an archaic (although artful) method, costly and a bottleneck. It sounds like the new method will help all of that. But how much did that machine cost?

I am looking forward to it.
