@Dark Pulse, can you point me to the forum for your large and complex community driven project that you are working on with limited help and time between your regular day job, running an online store and various other things, so I can criticize on how long it's taking?
As others have said, I wasn't attacking ED, I was defending him. We're nearly there - I'm excited.
My stance on the issue was as it was four months ago: One last major bug to get nipped (the 4 GB RAM bug), further testing/simulations to make sure anything else that was problematic got done, protos get made and tested, then mass production. And voila. My optimistic estimate was four months; my conservative one was six. Six minus four... is two months. For reals.
I missed stuff like Chinese New Year, and FormAction dragging their heels also introduced a relatively small (but present) delay. Without those, it's entirely possible protos would be getting tested right around now instead of in a handful of weeks still.
"Two months for reals" is thus hopefully how long it is until the first orderers get theirs. I won't be getting mine for a bit after that even, since I'd be part of that Post-1000 batch, but my Pyra is already bought, paid for with vouchers, and hopefully those cover the shipping as well. I'm not one of those guys who'll never buy one - and if you'd really like me to show my investment, I'll throw in a picture of my Pandora at no extra charge.
I'm behind ED and this project 100%, and I'm a patient dude. HOPEFULLY it don't take too much longer, but don't confuse me with one of those "LOL IT'LL NEVER GET MADE PYRA SUXXXXXXXX" trolls please.
