I decline to comment on the bit about "another Harry", but do agree with the overall sentiment. Robert has never intentionally given incorrect information and does his best to be honest about what he can do, which is to collect information for a product that we all hope to have available someday. The e-mails I wrote to Foxit Reader and others asking questions about prices or actual specs received rude responses and of course no real information. Perhaps you have not tried corresponding wth any of them?

Sooner rather than later would have been nice, but a 9.7" device didn't happen for anybody in the industry who had promised it last fall. My neice is probably thinking almost the same thing about the quilt I am making her for high school graduation being the same kind of "vaporware" that you nastily describe. The quilt top, however, is actually half sewn with the rest of the blocks in process sitting on the guest room bed. My neice is kind enough not to say anything impolite and hopefully I will finish by graduation in June. If not then by her birthday in July, maybe. Or not since my baby is due then - see where I'm going? A saga of delays for over a year since I bought the fabric for a simple 9 patch queen size quilt.

At 17 years of age a sarcastic teenager has at least learned the lesson about not saying anything in public if she can't say something nice or at least constructive. Please show the same courtesy to those of us who believe what Robert has to say and are willing to have some faith in his efforts. Even if you think we are delusional an the whole thing and being taken in, please don't take the joy & fun out of something that should be happy.
