I have remained rather quiet on this matter for quite some time, but I would posit that a more pertinent question right now might be "do they really exist, or is this yet more smoke and mirrors?" > I wonder why there are never any updates -- weekly, monthly, > semi-annually...? Brice has told us that he would update us more frequently *how* many times now? I don't believe a word of it any longer. Hell, I've stopped believing in the existence of the *module* until one shows up on my porch. > I wonder when those who've paid will run out of patience and start calling > lawyers? > Please pardon my pondering, but I've never seen a situation quite like this. > It's not that I am hoping for something bad to happen to Brice; I'm not.

For some reason modular synth folks seem to be an extraordinarily patient group, but this situation has been pushing the limit of that tolerance for a long time. It will be "interesting" to see what excuse he comes up with this time. > P.S. Has anyone reading this actually received a PSIM-1 in, say, the last 6 > months? No, but I have an email from Brice dated 04/20/04 telling me that there were eleven more to be built before mine. Since he has stated on this list that there are about fifty parts to each one, I simply cannot imagine how a dozen modules can't be built in over two years. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no electronics genius, but if the boards and parts are there (he's said that he already spent our money on them) even *I* can sure as hell build and test a module in a week. I'm sure Brice will plead "extenuating circumstances" again as he's done in the past; guess what: we *all* have extenuating circumstances. It doesn't change the fact that he has entered into a contract with each of us and failed to deliver in anything approaching a timely manner. If what I've written sounds angry, it's because I *am*. In any other business he would have had his day in court long ago. This has gone well beyond "annoying;" it's time for an accounting. -- Charlie -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
