I was not going to reply to the foot in mouth comment but....
I made no comment about whether Avidyne was listening to customers. I said that they weren't being as up front about delays and that Patrick owed those of us who invested 10 - 20$K (I am in for both boxes) to tell us what was up rather than waiting till he had something exciting to say. I think "We missed the date again" is important enough rather than waiting another 3 months (Avijake said recently he expects to submit in Q1, not the same thing as January).
I did read the threads, though I saw no reason to go back to the previous delay dates to see how they handled it. On 26 nov someone asked the status. This was followed by guesses on the part of posters but nothing from Avidyne. On 2 Dec someone said they could wait but were unhappy. On 3 Dec Avijake only said anything about the Pilots guide. On 10 Dec someone asked again the status and said obviously the end of year wouldn't happen. That's when Avijake said Patrick was going to send us a letter. and said "for those parsing every sylable, we won't make Dec 31."
I put my money down in spite of a friend saying it was a bad idea because of the history of delays. I will wait a bit and have not asked for my money back but may soon if I continue to feel strung along. Avijake's detailed answer ws good but unfortunately followed by the more vague Q1 post.

Avidyne may not agree with our inputs or suggestions but we do have an audience. Tim perhaps you should read the pages and pages of what's here first before you insert your foot in your mouth again. |
