untenable for nearly six months (but we appreciate all the emails desperate for the
module!). Supply chains broke down, California (and almost everywhere else) shut
down, our manufacturing came to a virtual halt, and our employees were sent to work
from home sans new hardware to test, since we didn’t yet have it. It took several
months (and another unexpected iteration or two) before we got to a point where we
could actually put Desmodus into production.

Oh and yes... Stephen grew as much of a beard as he is capable of for the development
of this product.

Special Thanks

All the people who emailed to tell us how excited and interested they were, despite the
wait!
