Pre-Ordering Mesh Potatoes

[Steve Song]

Hi all,

So at last on the cusp of actually having Mesh Potatoes in production.
We are likely to place the order for the first one hundred Mesh Potatoes
in the next week or two. This order has been generously funded by Jim
Forster. These Mesh Potatoes will not come in the housing that they
will ultimately have. It will probably be an aluminium casing or
similar. However, once we have the one hundred MPs in use and are
confident of the technology, we'll be ready to place a larger production
order.

So I have two questions.

1) Who is interested in having some of the first batch of one hundred
Mesh Potatoes? Ideally these will be people/orgs who are committed to
feeding back into the design process and helping out with the debugging.
There will not be a charge for these MPs. The only fee is
participation. If you're interested, please send me a note off-list
indicating who you are, where you plan to use them, how many you'd like,
and why you think you're a good candidate to beta-test the Mesh Potatoes.

2) In the interest of aggregating a much larger order for the
production Mesh Potatoes, would anyone be interested in pre-ordering or
conditionally placing an order for production Mesh Potatoes? I am
guessing at a ballpark price of about USD80 per unit. I'll try and
provide a more committed number soon. If you're interested, please let
me know roughly how many you'd like and when you would need delivery by.
I expect we might have these MPs ready for delivery before the end of
the year.

Thanks! Have a good weekend all.

Gentlemen,

I think your chances of success might be enhanced if you followed Steves
request to the letter. He asked for off list replies, and an explanation
of why you should be considered.

Just a thought. :)

Now if you were responding to item 2, then never mind. Though it's
probably best to be a bit more verbose.
