Personal attacks on me by yourself and a JJP employee here and on other sites are neither warranted nor professional.
It would be much better if Pinchroma or better still, Jack himself came clean and actually told people what the problems are with production - that would stop all of the guesses and then we would know the facts.
Until then, I stick by my theory that it is the PC side of things slowing production down.
You say 25secs for the machine to boot - Pinchroma says less - an owner told me 3 mins??? Who do we believe based on events so far? I go with the owner myself.
I don't really care and I didn't bother looking at the video - it would be better to have a bit of honesty and transparency with this project, after all it is the customers who have financed it.
Here's the problem: as a competitor, going around on Pinside, Aussie Arcade and now here as the supposed expert on everything wrong with the WOZ hardware platform while evidently not knowing the first thing about the system, is not professional. Then, whenever it's either pointed out that what you're saying isn't supported by verifiable facts, or whenever someone requests you back up your claims with facts of your own, you get defensive, blame everyone but yourself ("someone else told me"), refuse to provide any supporting evidence, then usually disappear only to pop up in some other place with the same claims.
I believe this quote warrants repeating and perfectly expresses our frustration with Mike's method of operation:
You say 25secs for the machine to boot - Pinchroma says less - an owner told me 3 mins??? Who do we believe based on events so far? I go with the owner myself. ... I don't really care and I didn't bother looking at the video
"Don't confuse me with the facts, because my mind's already made up."
So - you say the PC is holding up production. In the interests of turning this into a useful conversion, in your experience can you tell me what aspect of the WOZ PC system you believe is holding up production, and why you believe this is happening?
Mike was not a competitor when he voiced his OPINION on the platform. Go back 90 odd pages and you will find that opinion way before the inception of Thunderbirds.
What's not professional is the sudden emergence of JJP Employees on this forum attacking a member rather than the comments made. As a FORMER supporter of this venture, I can't believe the rubbish I'm reading. It does not belong here and the only positive reason to leave it here is so that prospective customers can judge the company for themselves.
Simply unbelievable..
