I guess I'm a bit out of date on the cases - I thought the only alteration was boring out the holes to fit the painted shoulder buttons - and if they didn't paint the shoulders that alteration wouldn't need to be made.
I believe it included placing stickers, and putting the rubber stoppers and whatnot on the cases, not so much the shoulder button issues.
I know it has been said by Craig in the past that many here are monday morning quarterbacks, and that most here have no clue in regards to what it takes to get this project done, and I agree with that mostly, but several months ago it was said that they wnated the mould factory to do things to help speed production, as it would be faster for them to do certain things on their end.
Well, many of us, myself included thought that them doing anything besides building cases would be a complete waist of time, and that a blind school kid in the UK could do a better and faster job than those clowns. Now I guess that has been revealed to be true. I guess it really isn't a huge deal now, as the nubs and other things have been an issue, so there was a delay overall, but adding anything extra for them is just a bad idea.
Hearing Craig say his team could have done it faster is no suprise to "ANYONE" here, and I'm very suprised he thought anything else would come from them but a delay in the end. I'm all for making mistakes, as it is human nature, but so is learning from your mistakes, and making sure they don't happen again. Sadly, seeing that the team putting faith into the mould factory again and again to do anything more than make a case is mind boggling at this stage. If everything had gone to plan, we would all be waiting on guess who? That's right, the mould factory!
It is very discerning to see choices like this being made, but I guess it's all water under the bridge, but hopefully everyone here still waiting on his or her Pandora won't have to hear come Christmas time that they won't recieve it due to the mould factory, AGAIN!
