ok, so what number is "next" on the queue?

I seem to recall that in the last newsletter, Rob said the "next" number was around 6500.

But that number won't get hit until they've cleared through all of the previous deferrals from last year... something I didn't take into account in my calculations.

It's really going to be interesting to see how far in the queue they'll get with the first 2000 players. Rob seems pretty confident that those players will satisfy the current backlog. If not, some of the high-queue-numbered folks will be sad to have to wait for another batch. Still, Empeg could have worse problems than a high sell-through density on the queue numbers.

I mean, think about it. With the minimum price of the Mark 2 being- what was it?- $1199?, if they sell through 2000 of just the lowest-priced model, that's a minimum of $2,398,000 gross. Now, I don't know what their margins and overhead are (I get the feeling that the margins are pretty thin), but I know a lot of startup technology companies that would love to do that kind of business over just one summer.
