about the "frequency of development", i'm fine with the
current procedure. i wouldn't like to buy a single module
every month, i like to buy a whole new batch at once.
this reduces shipping costs and saves a lot of work when
sending the packets to the customers. well, if the
modules would come monthly, it wouldn't stop me from buying
them, but then mrs. heller would have to send a lot more
packets to me ;-)

eventually it should be considered to not sell modules
without a manual available.

about the forthcoming modules, this is great news.
i'm looking forward to the bit cruncher and the
vc delay impatiently :-)

best wishes
