The fact that they are in 'pre-production status' does not bode well. That doesn't even sound like they've started yet. I really really hope that is not true.

I'm going to go cry in the corner. Boo hoo.

Thanks for the expression of solidarity. \:D

This will be my first sub, I don't know if I can make it.

I figured the shipment date might be soft, but once I was given a date I was happy because it became so easy to bracket my concern and pretend everything was set, but now the torture is back--and it's megaplied.

Who knew HT karma could be so rough? I could never be an engineer . . .

Hmmm, good point--is that like prototype stage? Like say, the R972? \:D

Hey, now, ease up. You're going to make me cry.

So people were actually told at one time that they would ship today? I knew you had to get your preorder in by today, but I didn't ever see an estimated ship date. I figured I'd have to do some waiting (but hoped against it) because of it taking a while after the preorder cutoff for the A1400-8.

All I know is if I don't get mine before Thanksgiving, I'm not going to celebrate that bogus holiday. \:\)

I thought you were trying to get them by Christmas? Did you find a way to pay everything off a month earlier?!

Yeah, I made a deal with my dad. He's paying for them now, and for letting me pay him back, I'm giving him my EP600.

Is your dad open to deals with complete strangers?

Ha ha, he's not that rich right now. He actually took out a loan. I mean, he has savings, but he won't touch that.

Just to completely veer off topic, do you know what interest rate he got?

In light of the news telling us every day what dire financial conditions we're in and that banks are hoarding cash like crazy, I'm curious at what rate they were willing to part with their money. \:\)

Deal or no deal. It's pretty simple, CV.
