Hi All,

I just have to say that, notwithstanding all the sticky 
problems we've seen in production, it's pretty darn amazing 
that we are getting close to having 2,000 K3's out there. 
And apparently demand is still pretty strong.  Let's see, 
2,000 K3's at an average cost of $2,000, that's about $4 
million!  That's probably low, and an average cost of $3,000 
might be a better guess, which would mean $6 million!  Not 
too shabby!  And I know a bunch of folks out there who have 
$4K  or more committed to their K3.  Congrats to Eric and 
Wayne for what seems to be a hugely successful design.  All 
of us who own one should pat ourselves on the back for 
having a piece of a real winner--it will maybe help take 
your mind off of what is happening to us in the stock 
market!!!!  I'm starting to think I may have to skip meals 
every other day!
