Can’t blame you for your decision. I always felt this was just something that INDIVIDUALS must decide for themselves. So I’d never tell someone to stay or give up. I only have given my reasons for staying or, in one case, I suggested someone wait a month based on factors I explained at that time. But those factors wouldn’t exist after that, which is why I limited my suggestion.

None of us outside of WayTools really knows how close it is to shipping. And considering other delays, WT may not know. They know if new problems are still showing up (let’s assume they are not - I don’t recall anything noteworthy for a long time).

So that would mean they know what the existing problems are and probably have a level of improvement they want before shipping (which is NOT perfection). But what they may not know, understandably, is how long before they find the improvements they need. Knowing about a problem doesn’t mean you can tell when it will be solved. Doesn’t even tell you if it can be solved if it involves new tech.

I figure people worry about the business failing and they get nothing back - so they choose to get their money back now. Perfectly understandable too. Heck, they may be right. No one outside of WT is going to know all the financial info on this.

My position is:

I can afford the loss.

The device is from a company with a rather obvious connection to a very successful company, thus less risk than a brand new company with people with little business experience.

Having seen the device, there is no question that this is NOT just a hobby. It’s a first rate build.

Combined with how great it is to type on (an advantage most obviously don’t have), I chose to stick with it.

Aside from actually shipping, I only wish more people from the forum - at least those who show up (whether they actually post or not) - were put into Treg.
