Ouch! Somebody is taking Pi out to lunch!

Osgeld:
I am still waiting when I can get a PI

Not me: I'm officially giving up on it. I've had it with their "bleep you" attitude toward potential customers. After seeing a posting the other day that said they were finally taking orders, I discovered that what they were actually doing was allowing some of the people who signed up months ago to backorder units for possible delivery in a month or so. And still not a word about if (much less when) they're ever going to start shipping in quantities that would allow people to actually buy them for practical uses.

I've spent more than 2 decades working in technology start-ups, and many more years as an end-user, so I understand the growing pains and glitches that arise in bringing something new to market. But this nonsense of "Don't call us: we'll call you. Someday. Maybe.." is beyond the pale.
