 good advice.  i'm finding that my associates believe that there is
some sort of "contract" (as a quote to create a finished product)
rather than a work-for-hire R&D ongoing set of payments.  they're
therefore blaming the chinese design team for failing to "abide by the
contract".

 but the more important issue we have here however is that to correct
these problems requires cash to do another small run, to test the
corrections.  we can't drop 2.5k units into production without them
being fully tested.
