Too bad the person that should be paying the most attention won't give you the time of day, unless of course he decides to be defensive and destroy your post, sentence by sentence. You do realize you're wrong... correct? Robert

Don't discuss hair color with Paul. That color is a secret formula and it comes from China. He wasn't happy with the last sample he got and now he he's being told it will be 6 to 8 weeks until they'll be able to deliver. Robert

It isn't really a secret at this point: Believe it or not, he wanted to know if I'd be interested in working for him. He said he needed my "brains and innovation". I'd by lying if I said I wasn't flattered. The position he was looking to fill actually sounded very interesting. However, nothing came of it so you're stuck with me.

The company need it now! I have no doubt Dave would catch 99.9 of all these poor design issues before they reach the public. Instead his business model is to have the customer beta test the products..... I would not have a hard time finding Paul's quotes from AB Max to current up coming Einstein V3 claiming the mounting mechanism is much better than Alien bee or WL. Not to mention the state of the art internal ventilation. You have to remember I am one scientist/engineer doing the work of 20, in addition to marketing, finance, global logistics, Chairman - you name it. I would hire more engineers is I could find them . . . but they have to be almost as good as me or I'm wasting my time. Now, if I relied on a mechanical engineer to do the mold designs, rapid prototypes would be necessary and what I do in a week and get made in a month would take 6-12 months and probably not work right.

Well, they're pretty clearly need someone like Dave RIGHT NOW. Fanboys or not, they're crapping in their own nest at an alarming rate. cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

It's not going to be long before we see tons of competition for PCB and they're going to become more and more attractive and there will be fewer and fewer reasons to look at Bees or Einstein's or whatever they'll be called.

Most people probably thought this and he probably didn't reply to your post because he respects you, believe it or not; he did enough to offer you a job after all Pentax K20D, 77Ltd, 43Ltd, Sigma 17-70, 60-250/4, crapload of Strobist gear (SB28's, RP JrX Studios, Einsteins, WL, Speedo BD, softboxes, grids, etc.)

He's sending them out with rubber bands because that's how he can get them to work as they should. Then he is doing a recall of the very same units at HIS COST shipping wise, fixing them, then shipping them out again at HIS COST. Knowing full well he's going to lose money, he still ships them out, who would do that other then someone who really truly cares about his customers? Wouldn't someone who "really truly cares about his customers" get it right before shipping, and not use his paying customers as alpha/beta testers? cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)
