That Eric is -such- a tease. 

BTW - the Don he is talking about is FPR type and he
may not be terribly far off, except with understating
the current order group size. 

My best estimates come from a look at the serial
numbers page on the wiki (gives an idea of how much
capacity has picked up over time). 

Back in October, K3's were shipping at about the rate
of correct answers in Jeopardy (by Jessica Simpson). 

Today, they are still not coming out as fast as
McDonalds burgers, but they are improving weekly, it
is indeed noticable.
