There is NO pervasive problem.

What some may be confused/concerned about is that TAPR coincidentally
underwent a server update during the last few weeks. It took a few days
to get everything fully transferred. There was no melt-down of the old server.
No data was lost.

All of your orders are intact.

As John Ackermann has pointed out, the TAPR office manager can either
process orders or answer the phone/emails, but not both.

This is exactly the same system we used for all of the other HPSDR
projects, so please relax and remember that John Koster said he'd process
orders in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of this month, so we are on-target.

There are long lead-times on certain parts, as there have been before, and
we have the mechanisms in place to have everything pull together here, so
please just relax don't ruin the pre-Christmas shopping drama out there.

<grin>
