Someone used my nick in the discussion about neo. So thats why I’m here to see what the fuzz is all about.

The poll itself is somewhat provocative; "pay the ramaining cost, no matter what?"

I answered yes, however I am not planning on "no matter what", say, if the costs would run up to something I'd have to take a mortgage on I'd probably let it pass.

Yeaaaahh... I admit the poll is not very... umm... scientific. You can poke holes in it all day long. I would not give it a hoot myself if the results were like +/- 20%. But, as it stands now, 2x more for one answer than the other, the pattern emerges quite clearly, despite warts and all.

frankly the wording is perfect.
No one is expecting an insane jump in cost....
perhaps a nasty jump...or perhaps a speed bump of a jump...perhaps no jump at all...
everyone knows that the end cost is fluid .

It is worded perfectly...

who is determined....right now.

ask me this question 1 year ago...2 years ago ...3 -4 years ago ...
I would have been with the determined camp...

come hell or high water.

Now..
well...
so much time has passed
and since my sentiment...
the world is going to pot...
and sea levels are rising..

so literally ...
hell AND high water have come.

In return, I can offer you a 5% discount on the down payment on my current new project, a device for a turbulent massage. I am going to call it... drum roll... Mass Turbo 3000.

@endsormeans
  • nothing was buried maybe your memories of the time when the project started, it is a long time ago so this could happen
  • You are no more interested to buy a neo900
  • you don't want to offend people
  • what is you intention then? With your behaviour you will achieve nothing
  • please stop it, you going to far and you don't recognize it

at pichlo...
hahahahaha...
ahhh..the mass turbo 3000 ...that is a good one....

at halftux
ach!
I was getting a good laugh out of that....

* you are most likely right...the passage of time has me wondering exactly what I supported now.
* no more interested? that is an understatement.
* I don't want to offend the wrong people.
the right people however... considering ...we have all been taken for schmucks for literally years, for our money and for so long so many have been silent, not piping up and saying nary a word of valid concern or criticism...out of fear for the damage it may do to a project that has their money and has produced no end product.
* my intention was to have a laugh ..nothing more..
* For you Half I will...
But I swear...any more B.S. out of this farce of a project ...and there will be no sparing the rod from me...here or elsewhere.

for you guys...
I will remove it...

but for those who wish one ..
I do have it archived...and available now...
(disclaimer: estimated shipping of completed kits 6 to ? years...)

Nice to see, erm read, you alive
Is your N900 still in working condition?
And what 'devil' is driving your daily calls?
