Hey, how'd I get pulled into this? .. we have enough current issues and mud, so lets try to keep this one out with
sleeping dogs
Whose trolling who here.. I think sebt3 just trolled Craig here, using me as ammunition
The facts on that count were..
i) It was said I'd get a Pandora for the prize to gbax2007 compo
ii) I did get a mk2 dev ujnit (red bare pcb) and later a cased dev unit
Complications with such a thing..
i) others got dev units who did not have to win a compo to do so; I mean, was the dev unit for firmware work, or for a prize (that no one else had to win.)
ii) winning a public compo, sort of implies getting a release unit, not a beta dev unit; ie: Consider if I was not a firmware dev, I'd have gotten one anyway
To C's favor -- a Pandora is probably worth more than what the original compo was offering.. Google finds:
3rd place prize of a next-gen handheld of his choice (GP2X, PSP or DS) + accessories

To another point, a pandora _dev unit_ does have considerably value, they cost quite a bit per unit since they were not mass produced.
So in the end, whatever; I figured I would get my paid for unit(s), plus a gbax compo winning unit I'd give to a buddy, plus the dev units before all that to help working on the firmware.
But if the dev untis count as my prize, fine, whatever. Its one of those fights not worth having, since its mincing over vague details, and no one comes out a winner in such a thing, just hurt feelings all around.
Thems the facts, make of it as you will. (And Craig, don't go thinking I'm spreading rumours over such things, or we'd have had this discussion years ago. I don't gossip much. But no doubt, you'll blame me for everything thats ever gone wring in your life anyway, right?
