Re: BFL rewarding Jalapeno orders at the expense of LS/S/MR orders
blah blah blah
I TOTALLY get it now. You have late April Jalapeno orders. So obviously you would rather see all the jalapenos get fulfilled before the other devices. Yeah, your opinion is not biased at ALL.
No, it would be in my best interest to have ALL orders held until they can all be delivered at the same time, like some people apparently want. I don't expect that I'll see my Jalpeno until WELL after the other hardware is completed and rolled out. But it seems pretty obvious that when 90% of the pre-orders are Jalpenos, and Jalpenos were the simplest hardware to design and complete, that you'd be seeing lots of Jalpenos rolling out before all the big guns. This isn't rocket science.
Jalpeno buyers aren't "being rewarded at the expense of LS/S/MR orders" as the OP asserts.
damn dude.. you really are "out there". You can't just "say something" and it be fact. No, if you have a jalapeno order, it would be in YOUR best interest for them to finish their line of jalapeno order shipments.
Facts:
This means you would get your jalapeno (even being an April order), before ANY single, little single, or minirig orders are fulfilled. This means that you would be mining on devices before 100's of terahash are in the wild due to BFL shipping out their other products.

No, that actually isn't obvious. Just the opposite on several statements.
From the beginning they planned on releasing ALL products at the same time. In fact, if they even ONCE said that they would be shipping out Jalapeno's first, someone like me would have kept my order of 5 jalapenos instead of upgrading my order to 1 little single (when the little single announcement was made). In fact I didn't want 6 Jalapenos because back then we thought it would require USB power which meant running 6 jalapenos on one USB hub would be a pain. Now that I know that the Jalapenos not only have their own power brick, but are shipping NOW.. I'd say I would have made different decisions back then.
Furthermore, provide some sort of proof that 90% of their pre orders are Jalapenos. Especially after allowing Jalapeno orders to be upgraded to the $699 little singles, 90% is not a correct number. Also, just because Jalapenos are easier to make, they aren't THAT much easier. Also, why are you listing only those two "facts" as your arguing points. You are ignoring the fact that the Jalapenos are the ONLY ONES EVEN READY TO MAKE. In the past month they have not HAD the boards for the LS, Singles, and minirigs. You can't assemble and ship something that don't have parts ready. This isn't rocket science.
