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!).
I meant it generically, and specifically since I thought you had an order with them
I would have done the pre order gig with KNC, but I wasn't able to. This gig came from left field, get's me in the game, maybe generates some good will. If nothing else, y'all will get pictures and video.
As an update, it was supposed to arrive today, but UPS in their wisdom sent it exactly the opposite direction from the Boise hub. It should arrive tomorrow.
