Not only that, but if you only have one mould, how are you supposed to get another company to make the cases? Say OPT looks around, and decides company A will make the better cases/moulds, but has your "contingency" arrangement with company B. So company A makes the moulds (or if you had them...

Not only that, but initially they said they would definitely *not* be using Chinese companies for parts of the manufacturing process, because of fear of quality, delays, and other such concerns. So clearly there was previous knowlege of potential issues. Perhaps not the scale of them, but there...

I hate to say it, but no surprise there. Craig, if all of the samples have been superb, can we get cracking on the rest of the order for the cases? I understand that you want to wait to make sure the quality is consistent, and that they didn't just send the best, but I really don't want to have...

Hooray for the stalker page. Here are a bunch of first-glance things I've noticed. Looks decent, though. 1) Applications/sub-sorts. I can't click to deactivate. This doesn't work in Misc, either, but does in Emulators/Games. 2) When downloading, can we get a link to the actual file somewhere...

What, specifically are you going to be waiting for? Are you planning on making more changes/tweaks? Are you going to be trying other things (silkscreen, colors, whatever)? Because if you're not going to alter anything, what's the motivation behind the delay? Given the past experience with the...

If only the "outside" of these cases were painted, then shouldn't the color behind where the screen would go (the "inside", as it were) be the same color on all three? Edit: On closer inspection, it looks like the area for the PCB is the same color on all three (through the keyholes), so it's...

Well, I did leave out the part of the quote that came right before: "These cases will not have a silkscreen as that would push delivery out into April and even then Craig worried they would screw it up and stiff us with the cases." So you're right about the concern of getting crapy results, and...

Sure I see that. And if that's the setup then I can see why there's such a short delay between paint with silkscreen and paint without. It's a good explanation. What I then don't understand is what happened to the *concern* from a month ago about doing it like that: Has something changed...

Shucks.

No, no. I didn't mean it like that at all. I believe that you tell it to us as you know it. I'd more meant it as a "I'd be very interested to hear what they say about this, if you asked them." I just don't understand how the case factory can go from "Of course we do that here" to "No, we have to...

Mweston, thanks for all the details. A few questions still, though. That sounds wonderful. Thanks for the news. To clarify, is that "They have 1000 cases now, and they are just waiting on the OK to paint them", or "They're waiting on the OK to [still] make the 1000 cases, and *then* paint...

Yes, definitely. Thanks for the explanation. I agree with your analysis, and concerns. However, I'm not sure about your interpretation for the silkscreening. Painting, a few days. Paint vs. no paint, you get two time estimates. But MWeston had a third one, with a mention of silkscreening. Only a...

MWeston - Three things 1) Before the others comments, I appreciate your update, and all of the info. Thank you. 2) You say to add on the silk screen would only delay by three additional days? I'm very confused by this. Previously, we were told that we were skipping the silkscreening because it...

Mostly being difficult, since you had so many. I always thought StumpWM was cool, but I definitely wouldn't use it on the Pandora.

(Yes, I know those aren't resistors).

Hey; if they've got them anyway, and probably can't send them back to the factory, I'd be more than happy to take one for free. Maybe they can be the "I got a first batch" freebie? What's that? You want my order number?

Why did my post get ignored? *mutter* Editing to reinsert content. You're right that I misspoke, and people are definitely getting soft cases. But he suggested here that people might be getting both. Also, it was never clear to me if all of the carry cases had been ordered/arrived, or if they...

^ Seconded. What about the keymats? (From the same company, right?) TV Out cables? Do we have all the carry-cases (hard and/or zip)? Speaking of the latter, was it ever decided if you were including get hard, soft, or both?

Have you considered trying to do it the other way? Start an ssh server on the Pandora (possibly running already?) and then connect from your PC. scp (winscp if you have Windows) a file both ways. I do understand that the Pandora receiving is the bottleneck right now, so make sure to *send* a...

Sure, using the internet is fine. But I then want to know why there's such a difference in value. But hopefully MWeston's using the same file/place to download from to test speeds. If it was 90% of the size (350 vs 300) in the two images, I'd be willing to attribute that to fluctuations in...
