That reminds me, wasn't there meant to be a PR person starting "next Tuesday"?
That seems weeks ago now.
BA can't even get the PR right about the PR person... maybe they can't even get a PR person? Who the hell would want the job anyway?

Precisely.
So they can't even get one PR person to show up and answer questions for weeks now but they will produce a complex miner, using a custom designed chip and board and they will deliver it on time, using the "new" schedule. Just let that sink in for a minute. My back of the napkin estimate - ladies and gentlemen, if everything else in that company runs just as well (and we have seen no proof to the contrary so far) we are screwed.
I'd be looking for a publicist about now. Never let facts stand in the way of a good story.
