Bulk manufacturing of Crystal Focus V3.0 : we need you !

Ervus saberboard sapien. Thank you for all the work you have done so far Erv. Even though I have not been able to order a board yet, I will soon. But I really appreciate all of the manual labor and brains you use to make the cf's, and I hope you can continue to produce these boards no matter what. I think even though the boards are expensive we would all be lost without you and the cf's.

yeah no doubt erv what a craftsman. I can't wait to get mine missed the last one, but i won't miss the next

side note maybe we should all battle for place in line that might get rid of a few buyers lol

Its alwase been first come first serve,

[DARTH KALEL]

yeah we all know

I like the Idea of maybe letting a few of us who haven't got one maybe get a chance to order before somebody, say that has 2 or 3 or is building for somebody else, can. I will follow whatever the process is but if I miss the next one thier might be blood lol.

The only two things I can imagine Erv could do in order to avoid a repeat of the accidental "Europe only" 2-hour flashfire sale (lol):

1. This time, release during the U.S. hours... aka--the OTHER side of the world. This has a weird drawback that Erv might have to be up in the middle of the night ... which is not cool--he has a wife and child.

2. Release X boards during blah o'clock... then another X boards a few hours later, and again... and again, etc.

Other than that... we'll just have to all hope that those who already have boards (like MYSELF) will *NOT* be purchasing (I didn't last time, nor was I planning to do so), and maybe also... if someday, some folks can be set up to help solder all the parts on a board + test + verify and program and help Erv double or triple his ability to get them out there.

Until then... Erv is only one dude with two hands. A COOL dude... a FAST one... but... still--1 dude, 2 hands. Lots of sabers.

Europe only? i'm sure some of you boys the otherside of the pond got some, whilst us (bitter, resentful) Brits didn't!!!!! LOL!!!!

I like the 2-shift idea, but it's up to Erv. Plus some of us are up until 1am regularly anyway! LOL!

I was thinking about :
- a saturday
- evening time (French time, Paris, Madrid etc), like 8PM.

this way it works for :
- hard workers, people who are coming home during the WE only, sales men who are on the road during the week etc
- teenagers / kids. Easier access to a computer / internet during the WE.
- US west coast => 10 AM there. Not too early so that they have time to wake up, make the kid's breakfast and jump to the computer with a coffee

how is this ?
Erv'

I think that should suit everybody. Except the aussies! LOL!!!

It's a great idea. Me, I'm glad since I'm not planning on grabbing any--who else knows better than I how scarce these boards are, and I'd rather let an eager 1st-time buyer (especially if they are like 18 or something!) get one instead of me get another one!

Besides... I haven't even completed all the CF I have into sabers! How fair is that? I mean maybe SOMEone out there SOMEwhere just has like 6 to 10 CF sitting around "waiting" for a project or are promised to a project... ya never know!

Finally I just say... watch out if any Wookies are looking for CF. I'd propose a new strategy: let the Wookie win.
