Is Everything On Track For Early April Production?

[gruso]

So much going on, so easy to get muddled up. If it weren't for Mali's blog quote thread and now Alec's scraper, I'd be pretty screwed. Luff you guys.

 

[Mithrildor]

You love Mali's thread but you ignore its rules and start posting crap (picture of a fish) in it?

And btw what happened to the crack in the hinge @ rev 3 case?

Communicating with atomicthumbs must be done on an alternate plane of consciousness. To most people, it looks like fish.

But only in the first few dimensions.

No fowl, no harm

[paddy]

I love fishes

 

[Mithrildor]

I lolled, but the thread isnt meant for communicating with each other its for posting quotes that have importance for people who want to know stuff about the pandora (so quoting a pic of a fish is wrong too)

Give him a break. He's Gruso! He gives us so much and expects so little: just for us to let him contact radio-active forum members through laws-of-physics-breaking pictures!

 

[Monk]

To be honest, if we're talking about being "on topic" the title of THIS thread is not "berating Gruso".

Give him a break. He's Gruso! He gives us so much and expects so little: just for us to let him contact radio-active forum members through laws-of-physics-breaking pictures!

Not just that - don't forget the many sacrificial kittens that he demands for every time someone say Two Months.


Oops. Darn!

Anything shipped to england, yet?

 

[fearofshorts]

Yes. I think a few thousand tonnes of potatoes were shipped there recently.

From Craig's twitter:

Arranging the Boards (etc.) shipping, wow, almost a metric ton.

Where's that cheerleading smiley?

w :blink: t ! Finally.

 

[Mithrildor]

So the first 700 arrived?

Is this a joke?

We demand PICS!


@Alerino:
That one is fine too

 

[Alpha2]

I know it made ME smile.

 

[mali]

So the first 700 arrived?

_Arranging_ shipping

 

[Monk]

So the first 700 arrived?

_Arranging_ shipping

Yes - arranging shipping = not arrived, not in transit, not left yet! but paperwork to start that ball rolling is in hand.

Please everyone, no April Fool's jokes about the Pandora. This would be physically detrimental to your health knowing how long this has been for us...

Is there any way to check if you are in the first 1000? I have no idea if I am or not, especially after the refund and re-pre-order deal.

 

[Sphinxter]

There is no need to ship the cases right now, because why would you want 1000 cases lieing around for a week?

I wouldn't want deceitful cases, but I one MIGHT want the cases "in hand" to be sure of having them. Until you get them, you don't know how long they are going to take. Will the factory ship them promptly on demand? Will they get held up in customs in China? Will they be hijacked by Somalian pirates? Will they be held up by UK Customs? Will the Chinese factory ship them to Fatih instead of the UK? You can also check the actual thing out (as Craig has done with power supplies, for example) to check their quality, at least on a basic hands-on level. Photographs from the other side of the world can only convey so much... and so on and so forth.

Basically, if it can go wrong it will. Even if it already has. Once a thing (cases, screen, whatever) are in hand you can rule out a lot of the potential variables. Variables which OpenPandora seem especially adept at tripping over.

EDIT: anyone that is complaining about this delay is a douchebag.

One thing I love about this community is the ability of members to see other people's points of view, and not resort to childish namecalling simply for a difference of opinion, but to reason things out, discuss stuff in a civilised, mature manner. That's how we've ended up with many an interesting discussion, and even changed viewpoints

You'll be glad they held up production If the wifi fix requires a change to the board design that alters it's dimensions and requires a matching alteration to the case mould. One never knows where this sort of problem may lead.
