Just FYI I work for a printing company.
The power of the press only belongs to the man who knows how to run one.
I do not very well. I'm the maintenance electrician. I can make it run and do basic setup but for a good job that's what the pressmen are for, they get paid more then me.
And yes I know my spelling SUCKS. I have a 120page psychology report that says the same dam thing. I can't spell any better then the average 5th grader something my cousin well tell you, she love to say how much better she can spell then me. Should add to my signature "spelling corrections needed"

Well mostly Bla bla bla Spelling sucks Bla bla bla reading slow Bla bla bla good at math on paper Bla bla bla suck at math in head Bla bla bla great oral retention Bla bla bla Learning desirability Bla bla bla special work on reading Bla bla bla Bla don't get a desk job Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Mrs bla bla

Lot to say my brain is cross wired I can do high level math and logic with ease.Heck I can trouble shoot almost any strutted programing language(assembly, Java, C++, python etc) you put in fount of me though I can't wright a line of code for lack of ever having a real need, don't know any of the commands, but I can see the sequence, the logic. English in written form on the other hand for me is just not logical, I don't do well with it.My reading has vastly improved with work but my spelling will not likely ever exceeded the grade 5 level. Has not hurt my college, I'm deans honer student all my reports are typed and I get some one to proofread them and all.

I'm just a bit of an odd ball

But I'm vary open about it

Don't forget the mini-game where you have to look though a forum and twitter looking for clues about the outcome. ;)

After all the mass production is done how will the assemly work. I understand that different parts are coming from different places such as the boards, cases, keymats, LCD's and nubs. Will it be assembled by the team or will they hire people to assemble the Pandoras or is it done with a machine or something. I'm worried that if the Open Pandora team does it then, it would take ages to assemble 4000 cause I remember even ED having troubles assembling it on a earlier video.

To be worried now, when everything is coming to a neat conclusion is a little bewildering.
Perhaps it's bewildering from your point of view when you can see the finish line getting closer. All we can see from this side of the Internet is our original pre-orders getting farther away.
Sure, you've given us a relatively short list of things remaining to do, but you've given us many equally short lists. (Don't get me wrong, Better that than nothing at all!)
From this side of the Internet the view is exactly the same as it was about eight months ago.

I'm not complaining (at this particular moment). Just commenting on your bewilderment.

It'd be nice if the forum could seem a little less vitriol-filled.

Some people can beleive in a God with a great big white beard who sits in the sky without even reading all of the Bible (extreme end of faith).

Some people can believe in nothing that they do not have empirical evidence for - neither a bible nor a video of a Pandora count, so they can disbelieve both with impunity (extreme end of scientific method).

Neither of these necessarily require the anal insertion of a cranium to understand, IMHO, though extremes in anything are to be viewed with some caution.

You seem to have it shoved up just that far enough for the 'my viewpoint is more valid than others' viewpoint, though...

Neither does any of the universe they cannot sense at any given time. Does that mean that they believe it doesn't exist? Observing something makes it exist? Sounds like the philosophy described near the end in Wells' 1984 :).

I've been spectating the forums a lot during the past year, and I pre-ordered in the first batch in october 2008. If I haven't got a Pandora by the end of the year, I will strongly consider canceling my order and decide not to buy the Pandora EVER and go for a different system. I'm not here to whine, I just wanted to inform you that you are not the only one who's frustrated and staying in the shadows.
 
Sphinxter, who were you referring to? If you weren't referring to me, please ignore the rest of this post.

It's good to see that people here are open to opinions other than their own.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt; perhaps didn't understand my post. It was not about not having it in my hands. It was not about mistrusting the OP team. It was not even about impatience.

I was addressing Craigix's professed bewilderment that people didn't understand that the end was near. I did this by trying to explain that there is no material difference between "We only have half a dozen things left to do. We ship in two months." and "We only have half a dozen things left to do. We ship in two months."

I'm sure that from Craigix's point of view the items on the most current list are small details and we seem nearly there. I'm sure that from Craigix's point of view the old estimates were obvious errors that anyone could have made. I'm sure that from Craigix's point of view we all seem impatient and ignorant for not understanding that this time we really are two months from ship-out. I'm sure it's all very frustrating for him.

i think more then half of the people who are saying "i seriously doubt i will cancel my order if/when" are not cancelling if the time they said comes. The more closer we get, the more videos and newsposts we'l get saying the pandora is almost ready. People will think its almost done, and thereby give it another month. If that month is over, craig or ed posted more news that shipping is almost ready! they give it another month. after that month, everything is packaging! they give it another month. Thats whats going on for the last 6 months...unfortunatly. But for me, i can see light on the end of the tunnel, because craig said not much can go wrong right now. :)
