Try feeling so happy about it when the total amount of money you have is down to single figures and it's been a year (well eleven months today) since you ordered. Seriously; I'm glad I live with my parents, even at the age of twenty-one. When I ordered mine in May last year, I was told I'd get it by the end of the month. I'd hung around and waited before ordering, waited purposefully until the buggers were shipping before ordering; that way I'd get my Pandora without spending ages out of pocket. Well, here we are nearly a year later.It probably isn't relevent to be in this forum. Anyway, I just wanted to say...
It is always interesting to come back to the forums not because of the latest Pandora news, but the moaning and bitching that appears in practically all topics.
I ordered my Pandora around September 2010. I was told that if I pre-ordered ASAP, I was 'Garantueed' to get it by Christmas. It is April now and I am not moaning one bit. Why? Because this is a unique project and proud to be part of such. Sure, I would LOVE to have the Pandora at my door step, but I am more than happy to wait!
I know a number of you have ordered WELL BEFORE Sept 2010. However, it will arrive!
Stop moaning!!
Keep up the great work Pandora team. Work as hard as you can... but please don't make yourselves ill! Myself, and others, appreciate what your doing!
All the best
The use for which I ordered my Pandora is now rapidly expiring. It looks like the only use I'll be able to find for it, after all, is playing SNES games, because, given the changes that have happened in hardware requirements since 2008, running anything other than VI in one xterm and compiling code in another would just be asking too much.
Yes, that's what I said. The Pandora's outdated by three years. Old tech, no longer capable of being what it's billed as. And I ain't changing that opinion 'till it's in my hand, successfully watching Epic Mealtime and downloading a few torrents, while compiling the latest source drop of ncurses.
