well, step back and think about it.  all they're asking you to do is tie up your BTC's for 4.5 mo.  if they don't deliver get a refund.  that's not bad at all considering what they're developing, the full results of which have not been disclosed yet.

Yes, it is bad. If they were so "confident" of their schedule, they'd back it with refunds begining end of Oct. Offering refunds months later means they're not actually confident at all. Oct 20 shipment is just a lie to snag sales away from competitors. Slimy.

that's just your opinion.  how is setting a delivery date that doesn't match your expectation considered slimy just b/c you don't agree?  what about all the price cutting, reseller programs, and other inducements offered by other companies?  are those slimy too?  or are they ok b/c perhaps you have one of their machines on order?

WTF?! Setting a delivery date that bears no relation to reality is entirely different to competitve pricing and standard marketing practice. It's similar to maxing out your credit cards with orders you fully intend to later cancel, it would be deceitful...Angry

Either you commit to something, and be honest with all involved, or you don't.
