    <br>
    yes minnowboard.org did underestimate the initial demand for the
    MinnowMax. we had expected that the initial shipments of the Max
    would go directly into inventory at many of the distributors and we
    would have more time to fill up the "pipe" as it were. initial
    production was at 300 units per week, but now that we have verified
    these productions, we have stepped up to 500 per week. this should
    increase to 1000 per week within the next 30 to 45 days.<br>

    in fact the initial back of RPi had a number of delays due to things
