I think that he meant:
2. No, what I meant was: When the second batch begins, the moulds will be done. They aren't, yet.
Ah! Thankyou - yes, that makes more sense! And true - the mold(s) isn't(aren't) done yet, despite what certain people say.

The last you heard? From who? Your gay lover?
The design has been finished for months.
From you, actually. And I didn't realise you were actually my LOVER per se - but it's nice to be wanted
So why haven't you made any cases if the mold was finished months ago?

damn! think Craig is sick of misinformation or what?
He should probably stop posting it then.

....they are taking on extra responsibility in tweaking the case/mould design to suit the full product design (they're putting extra work to ensure that the case produced will actually FIT the final motherboards as well as possible and actually WORK rather than just being a very close near-miss). every bit of work takes time, and when projects cross departmental boundaries (as this would seem to) delays get built into the schedule.
Here it comes, in a reply referring to the above:

The 35 days includes doing the tweaking, they are doing this process full time for 35 days. We have spent the best part of a year getting the case right, so, it should work.
@Asmo - thanks

Balls, the design is finished.
Shaving bits of metal off mould parts to make them perfect does not translate to the design not being finished.
Now go away.
Are the molds finished or aren't they? "Shaving bits of metal off mould parts is, IMHO, "tweaking". If it's finished, let's have some of those damned Pandoras that we paid you for a year ago, eh?

Tweaking the case design, and tweaking the mould to get it built according to spec, are definitely very different things. Monk's innocent error was including the word "design" in his post. I found the exchange amusing but Monk probably copped a little more than he deserved there.
I'm with Midna and Phawx. Have a laugh, then shake hands/no hard feelings.
Personally, if the molds were finished (and OP had let us know that) then he'd have a point. As it is, he's just being more of a dick than I've seen him be before. I'm actually offended - on a forum where I thought it'd have any effect I'd report him to the mods for being abusive.*
Asmo said:
Yeah - if Craig wanted to be certain I'd stop interpreting Pandora issues positively and stop encouraging people to buy the damn thing, I think he may just have found the way to do it!
So - the mold was finished months ago. Where's my Pandora?
*addendum. With Craig being behind Pandora, and this forum being what it is, it's pretty pointless to report Craig for being an ass - but I've done so anyway. Stick to your principles, man! LOL
