I do hope they get you your machine very soon. 

Send the hope to someone else (or maybe you meant it generically).

I have an unnatural aversion to funding someone else's start up company and not getting equity in return.  I prefer to be an investor or a customer. I've never been nor do I ever plan in being an investomer.  Admittedly this has kept me from purchasing any BTC ASIC miners but I can live with that and so can the coins that will stay in my wallet for the time being (and I'll add a few more friends for them with my GPU LTC rigs!).

Well I can certainly understand that!  But there is a flip side to that coin.  I invested a good bit in BFL miners and it took me 7 months to get my hardware!!!  So I was going crazy about lost revenue.  But looking back on it (even with that long delivery time) I have now mined enough coins to double my investment, and they are still mining away, making me over $70 a day at today's pricing and difficulty.

So, now to AMT:  Yes this is a roll of the dice, I admit.  But I am starting to feel good about my roll.  Yep, I sent coins out of my wallet to invest, and your coins are still in your wallet....but I feel good about my bet, and I got a hunch (all things being equal) I'll have a lot more coins in my wallet in the long run than you have in yours....but only time will tell....Biomech will know where I stand soon enough!!  Of course my gpu's have served me well with scrypt mining also, so that's not a bad decision on your part I suppose, certainly a lot more easy on the psyche.
