That could well be true... problem is that very few now believe anything Jack says

Yep

Make that December 2012
March 2013
End of April
Building them now, shipping in 2 weeks (air)
Building them now, shipping in 2 weeks  (air)
Building them now, expect to ship in a week (not doing air, via sea)
We think we might have sent some, but not yours. We might be sending more in 2 weeks, but we are not certain

All these dates were from e-mail communications directly with Jack

I ordered in the first week
No distributors were announced until about May 11 (?)
Were any standards ordered in that first week

Jack stated many times, 'first to pay, first to play', I finished making payments in 2011

If any standard versions were ordered before I placed my order, and/or Jack signed up any distributors in the first week, then I will unreservedly apologize to him
