hopefully -- not a repost, but...


who's in?


me + Audra

confirmed most of my childcare arrangements today, and will be sending my check asap.







(my only regret? w/ the way that ED is working so far, i'll have no sub for my system... Ben: "We should be shipping in 7-10 days." (it's been 40+ now))

 

Sub

Count me and Rhaeann in. Confirmed it tonight. Check going in the mail to Raul tomorrow.

 

Ben gave me the same line 7-14 days turned into 135 days for me...

 

elemental disfunctions =(

sorry 'bout the bad luck fellas. Phil, Jim, i'll see you both at the dragon.

 

Looking forward to it!

 

Willie -- i was skimming the main signup topic and saw that you jumped in on it in the list... very cool... there are more than a few things i look forward to seeing in your sytem... glad to know you're going... (even if wifeless)

Jim? did everything work out w/ Boston? glad to hear you are still good for the Dragon! based on above, i'm gathering, "yes." ?

looks like it is going to be 10.5 hours driving time (min) for me and Audra... we're hoping to leave a bit early, and head out Thursday evening... hoping that it will allow us to be in Tenn. in the early afternoon on Friday. still, the drive back on Sunday is going to be a full out haul... thank God Audra can drive a standard.


and yup, last night i wrote ED a nasty note last night outlining my 1 month = 4 months for the e8A, so 7-10 days should equal 40+ days.... so, where's my 11Ov2?

i doubt they'll pick up on my ironic sarcasm by comparing the old delay ratio w/ the new delay ratio... but for sure, i don't think they can not see my displeasure. hopefully, i'll get a real answer. i asked for them to give me a 'realistic estimate' for delivery. if they tell me 7-10 days again, i might start thinking about writing off the value i have remaining w/ ED from the e8A, and start shopping other subs. i'm not happy about it by any means, and it could mean a big problem for me in the area of enclosures, but this is just getting to the point where my patience is running out. and those of you who know me, know that i'm a very patient man.
and even if i do change paths at this point in the game, if ED doesn't deliver, i seriously doubt i could get something done in time for the Dragon...

also, i know this has put William into a bind as he has more than a few on order and already 'sold'... so, he's got a bunch of people currently waiting as well...

honestly, i do not see how ED can continue to function much longer if they do not change their business model. they simply shouldn't be selling equipment they do not have, and that they have no solid supply for...
