This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It worked okay for Alfred's Challenge, but overall the trend has been for Randy Crihfield to manufacture carts. This guy didn't want to take advantage of that, and I got a little suspicious of his motives until I saw the screenshots which looked genuine. I don't think he's out to screw anyone, but just like BSR and their development board, ICD and the catboxen, and so on, when you have these tiny niche items, sometimes people get screwed when it's not handled very carefully. If this guy had simply chosen to use Randy, it would have been all over and done with, but I suspect that he can't find a suitable way to manufacture--or is just procrastinating. ========================================================================== == Glenn Saunders --3D Graphics / Videography / Web development-- == == krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/1698 == == Stella@20 video page http://users.cnmnetwork.com/~krishna == ========================================================================== -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
