 the critical component there is the PCMCIA socket.  if you add up the
number of micro-desktop housings, laptop housings and breakout boards,
the total comes to 201.  so we're 80.4% of the way there on that one,
too.

 no, the main thing is, we couldn't have predicted the ratios that
people would like to pledge for, in advance, and with a 20:1
difference betweeen highest and lowest parts it means we have to keep
an eye on things and do the maths.

 basically beyond a certain threshold raised it'll be really easy to
complete.  hard work, but we'll have the funds to do it.

 also with more funds i can start considering planning ahead.
