Imagine the amount of time and expense that it takes to stock and then support -each- kit sold (shudder). And people, not machines need to do this work.
Hopefully, after the initial R&D has been done for the K3, it's more like a magazine, where printing more copies is almost cost free after (N) number of copies has paid for the production costs of the first magazine and distribution. The guys jet down to V31 with a laptop, and sit out by the water. As the orders come in, they click the checkbox for more boards, cabinets, etc. without even leaving the lounge chair. The biggest hardship of the day would be flagging down the pool attendant for more suntan lotion, towels, or maybe one of those punch drinks with the little umbrellas in it. I bet the guys are already getting soft just thinking about it... ;-) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> First Shipment Tally from [Craig Rairdin] It wouldn't surprise me if they sold 1000 in the first two weeks.
