    I got in this morning and checked the stock on the W3's and there was one left. I thought, ok... well at least we didn't run out. Well apparently we did. some 30 people got orders in between 11:50 and midnight last night and a shipment came in this morning and they should all go out by the end of the day. From the traffic we had that very late, if any of you had issues getting an order in before midnight, let me know. Your orders had to be submitted by Midnight, but if there was a problem, your invoice date would still read the date in which your order was started.

    Good money for PROPortable, what is that like $57,000 is revenue in like 10 minutes.

    Good to see how being informatable honest and generous to the consumers pays off.

    don't get ahead of yourself..... a lot of that is procrastination on the customers part and the time limit on the rebate just got them all in gear at the last possible moment.

    .... I wish that meant 20k a month. We only broke 1k a month once and that was only done with about 5 new models and a bunch of corporate orders all in the same month.... and believe it or not, the only closest to that we've ever had was the day we started shipping the W3v's.... but even then we probably did only about 30 in about half a day. It's something about the W3... but in this particular case, it was certainly a mix of $200 rebate running out and everyone else procrastinating.
