All I wanted was a miner delivered into the market climate that enticed me to order it in the first place.  Since that didn't happen, I chalk it up to life experience.  Not really that angry as manufacturing this sort of thing is not easy, but I find it remarkable how all these pre-order tech startups attempting these devices are all managing to ship product into a market space that has long since moved past the point of saleability.  The lesson here is simple.  Buy what you can actually get in hand within a few business days.  Time is more valuable than efficiency for the freelance miner, and the freelance role is coming to an end.
