waytools: waytools: We’re reviewing the data to get more clarity, but for your visibility - we think it’ll likely be a few more days to make sure we’re all clear to ship. We’ll give you another update with more details after the weekend testing.

Might as well look at the possibilities again. Yeah, I know, there could be more delays, but this is about possibilities IF there are no more issues.

So the statement above was made Friday. In prior posts, we’ve established some, somewhat vague, definitions for “few”. Dictionary says 2-3 usually. But I think in everyday usage, people use it more broadly. I know before actually looking it up, I always thought of it as being at least 3, but possibly more. Hard to specify a limit in that case, but I would probably tend to think 3-4 and maybe a stretch to 5. We don’t know how WT means it yet.

So for now I’ll stick with the dictionary and take reference to “3”. Do we count workdays or include Sunday? I’ll count Sunday since the context doesn’t specify anything else (doesn’t rule it out either).

That means it could make Monday - still February, barely. But we also have the second part of that quote, “after the weekend testing”. Based on past experience, they do that ON Mondays. No idea how when that meeting starts and ends! We only know they tend to post very late (between 9:39 PM and 4:30 AM Monday night). So, this review may put them past the point where they can ship that same day.

With all that in mind, I figure shipping Tuesday is mostly likely the “best” we can hope for, but with extremely good fortune Monday isn’t out of the question. Would be nice if they could make that goal though.

Anything after Tuesday, I think it would appropriate for another update with some specifics on what the issues are. For example, “The keyboard works fine most of the time, but we are still have trouble having it get stuck sometimes when changing layers - we are working on adjusting the code and continue to test versions to fix this”.

Granted, that wouldn’t be very precise on when it will be fixed, but I used that kind of example to show what can be said even in areas where there is no sure way to know how long it will take.

Obviously, the status page would need adjusting for TREG shipping estimates.
