What's the top free gift @gmadden ?

It's so easy. Someone just needs to make a new screen name here, or on Macrumors, or Reddit, and dish out the secret.

Seems to be a pattern. You criticize people who order, yet you keep your order. You insert people into discussions but then complain they inserted themselves. You claim people are dishonest, but talk about how easy it is to be dishonest and encourage people to do it.

Not wanting to poke the bear again, but you just missed an extremely clear example of sarcasm. 

I'm well aware of the sarcasm. I'm also well aware that there was some truth to it, which I explained.

> it sure sounds like you are making a lot of it about you... what’s your point...? That you’d prefer to run interference for Waytools and protect them by shifting the focus of topic back on to you...?

Let's see, in two consecutive posts TBD made lots of comments about me - none of which he had to do. So I pointed out that, for a person who claims the thread shouldn't be about he, he kept making it about me.

Just as you are.

Wow, his should quite an update

That is one of the points I've tried to make to WT. The longer it takes to get the update out - missing many time projections along the way - it is going to naturally make people think that it is taking so much time because there is so much in it and so much keeps changing so they have to redo parts of it.

This rising expectation is not a good thing if it is just a basic update that looks like it could have been written in an hour or less. Nor will it be good if it is fairly generic, like saying they've made a lot of progress. Or even saying they made a lot of progress on some specific things but nothing we can measure.

It was a long time ago, but once they posted something about the percentage of testers that had a problem. That, to me, was useful info. After all, ultimately GR is going to mainly depend on what problems exist, what percentage experience them, and how often they happen to those who do experience them.

For example, if you have 5% with problems, that may be considered to many if the problem is serious and happens all the time. But if it is serious, yet only pops up maybe once a week, briefly, then it may be acceptable. So I'd like to have some idea about those numbers. If nothing else, if the same info was given in future updates, we could see how much better things have gotten.

For me this delay is even more unforgivable than a four year delay on the textblade.

• Unlike the textblade, this task was easily measurable - it should have been easy to estimate how long it was going to take.

Actually, some of that is what I've been saying - a delay because of new tech surprises is understandable, but not so much constantly missing update timeframes. Missing occasionally is also understandable, but we have gone way past that.

Thanks for posting our responses Mims.  It helps clarify how we endeavored to address your questions.

But you did fail and continue to fail to answer the main question that I had: When will the product ship?

I'm pretty sure that is because they can't be confident enough about a specific date. And, considering the many discovered issues, that makes sense.

But it was nevertheless interesting to see they took the time to write lengthy responses, answered a number of questions, and were cordial about it.
