I love this idea. Everyone can suss out his own sweetspot from the comfort of his own home. Or hope for Craig to do the right thing. The combination of the donation money becoming a scarce commodity and having one yanked away from you everytime it nears the point you'd pull the trigger will...

I wouldn't want him to even resell them, he'll just start selling more then he has in stock immediately. Maybe a link to ED's shop and a couple of €€ taken of his huge debt to ED with every unit sold that comes in from his website.

^^ I had one of those. One drop and the screen died.  :(  Loved that thing. Need a hug now. Oh, and yes, great keyboard size.

I'd love a mechanical keyboard for the perfect tactile sensation. But probably impossible. I'd pay another $ 75,- for that easily.  1+4 or 1+5 rows would be fine. Preferably the 1+5 but it would depend on how much smaller the keys would get. I'd rather have 1+4 and being able to type a bit...

Knowing what I know now I feel rather stupid going of on CC back then. So apologies CC, forgive me I was young, ignorant and arrogant at the time. If Craig had the same level of communication and sticking to things agreed on as he has towards us (original pre orders) and the whole ICP2 crowd...

As long as there are people willing to pay a bit extra this is true. Once only the people who can't/ will are left they would be serviced again. Certainly from donations. I can imagine ED and the investors having a point in mind where it stops making sense giving away all the profits.

I think you're mixing up what the plan is and what you'd like the plan to be. ED never said it was $300,-, $100,- or the door. I suggest you read his original post again and not wind up the old pre orders that read this out of context.

If it's a portable clamshell with a keyboard and gaming controls I'm in. I'll leave the designing up to the rest of you.  :)   Although, not being held back by any knowledge on these matters an option for a mechanical keyboard would be stellar. Otherwise just have a good look at the Psion...

Although a nice discount on a new device, assuming it's a clamshell with a keyboard and the gaming controls, would be something I'd go for. A device produced by ED with no Craig involved that is. I don't think ED should carry over this mess to a new project. It should end here and the new...

Could you send this also to the complete remaining Craig preorder list? This has two results : 1. You are sure everyone who should read this does read this. 2. Everyone who gets a mail knows that you have knowledge of their order. Bonus points for putting their current time survey...

It's a bit late for that. Hundreds of units would have to be returned and sent to the people who have been queue jumped the last two years with premiums and extra special premiums.

Shleedragon is exactly right about how the Sharks would react. They would rip him apart. And probably in the exact same wording as Shleedragon posted. Problem is that even if you get aired you have zero control over the editing. So even if he did get to tell the whole story it might be just all...

ED, when will you be sending out the emails to the $150,- upgrades that will get their units when the lcd's arrive? Money is burning in my pocket. Please take it! :) Or worst case, I'll know that I'll have to patiently wait a bit longer. 

Probably because no one could be arsed to file a formal complaint yet. I think that one person doing so would just get the reaction that it's a civil matter and they should go to small claims court or whatever UK equivalent there is. And for that the amount is too low, cheaper to just say...

I agree fully with you. I just disagree with the bit where you say that 89 people donating an extra $ 13.350,- on top of their original order is juggling bullshit.  It seems that not everyone realises that people who are upgrading now are in fact donating. And it would be nice if there would be...

I disagree, My cutoff was basically a total of $150,- but overwhelmed by all the donations I decided to raise it a bit so $150,- with ~$30,- VAT added (so $180,- total) was ok. I would've never gone for the $200,- plus ~$40,- VAT and would have rather waited for maybe a unit in the future...

Same here but it's good to know that worst case I'm in the next 41.  :) I allready feel sorry for all the Compo4all regulars who'll have to start getting used to 2nd places. :ph34r:

I think he was referring to himself regarding the blood alcohol and dumb bit.

Basically I still fully agree with WizardStan. You are always in charge of and thus responsible for your own actions. I do feel that that also means that when you do, or neglect to do something, you should not only reckon with the reaction of the x% rational well balanced people but also...

Isn't she Craig's girlfriend/wife/fellow traveller in life? And if so, she's resigning from what? Living at his place? It's not as if she going to be away from it or him. Although if she were a smart girl.. The example Exophase gave was well out of order whatever your standards are but Craig...
