Making a foolish purchase does not make one a fool. Most of us have made purchases at some point that we later regret.
Now if you were to back a subsequent campaign by Michael and Peter for a second generation model...

Very odd that. Some backers with very low order numbers still appear to be waiting. How did they manage to ship devices so badly out of sequence? It made me wonder if they were shipping devices out first to backers in locations who could more readily come after them.

Yeah, that was so incredibly weird. Perhaps Netronix got a bigger order from somebody else and decided to fulfill that one first. But then why not just explain to people what was happening and where they stood in the queue?
Also, it was very strange when Peter changed his profile to "P" when he had been previously using his full name. Why would he want to distance himself from the campaign if everything was on the level?
What a strange way to handle what was ostensibly a successful campaign and to further tarnish their reputation.
Hopefully, if they do get around to fulfilling all of their back orders, they will then find the time/resources to put out an update to help stabilize the firmware issues that a number of people were complaining about.
