Trust me. Wiring up a lot a connectors takes a long time. Particularly since it's not just 1 wire per pin. i.e. cut to length, strip, crimp and clip into plug. Because pins are shared between the serial port and others, it's quite time consuming. I even have a blister on my hand from my ratchet crimp tool.

I'm about 80% of the way through my first batch of 40 connectors. Those reading this who have already paid, I hope to start sending them out mid next week.
