[Elecraft] Deposits etc.

OK, I'll admit it. I'm more excited about this radio than any piece 
of gear I can remember in the last 10 years. This little radio
is going to be a huge success for Elecraft. We are all going to have
to try to think about something else for the next 6 months!

And so, I think Eric and the guys should make the most of this.
I'd consider doing two things:

Take deposits as soon as possible, but make it a lottery. 
Open the first "window" and all deposits received in that week
are in the lottery. The gal at the front desk picks the envelopes out
at random and the results are posted.  After that, all orders received
are filled in the order they are received. You can do a window, or you
can cut it off at the number of radios produced in the first run.

Secondly, I'd make a "bundle" price for three configurations...upgrade
packages. The discount needs only be $50 or so once you exceed 
around $1200. You know you are going to buy those filters and options!

Guys- pre-address your envelopes!
