K144XV now shipping

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ]

Hi Mike,

If it looks like we can't get the UK K144XV orders out to arrive in time
to beat the 1/1/2010 U.K VAT increase, we will eat it and pay the
difference and discount them by the 2.5% to U.K. customers. This is our
current top priority. Believe me, I want to ship these more than anyone :-)

73, Eric

Dear Eric,

Many thanks for a most generous gesture. This will be much appreciated by me
and your other UK customers for the K144XV.

Indeed very generous - thank you Eric.

We will find out on Wednesday our fate for the next year in the budget statement. It is likely to be tough.

To set Eric's mind at rest, the VAT rate from 1st January will
definitely be 17.5%. Any tax rises announced in next week's budget
statement will not take effect until some months after.

Top posting is the official standard for this list, and its especially
important for those of us who also read our email on PDA phones. (I'm
using the Motorola Droid..)

Reading the response first, at the top, is a huge time saver, especially
when you have to read hundreds of emails daily as we do here.

Please also delete all footers and as much of the prior email text as
possible when replying to cut down on overall volume.

is impracticable on these devices and costs us a lot of time.
