Let's be honest with ourselves....this thing started to get 'fishy' (no pun intended) fairly early in the process. 1st the unexplainable long delays. Then, people getting almost verbatim canned responses from whoever they talked to at SAI. These responses included multiple broken promises of 'coming probably next week', then a 'week later', then 'probably next month', then 'you are high on the list', and then the e-mails and phone calls started becoming spaced further and further apart, and then the e-mail and phone call responses went stone silent.
All along, we kept making excuses to ourselves for this gross malfeacance every time our expectations were dashed..."it's a new start-up", "they need all hands on-board to produce units, so there is no one to answer the phone"; there's no reason to answer e-mails because they have no new news to offer"; they are "producing a robot to produce discs that just takes time", etc., etc. We all put up with this just because we so badly wanted to believe that it's true---that this almost unbelievable revolutionarly technology is here to make our lives and reefs better.
At least speaking for myself, I should have just listened to my better instincts; "if something sounds too good to be true, then it usually is" and "if it looks like a rat, acts like a rat, and smells like a rat, then it's probably a rat". Lesson learned. By the way, in one of my last verbal communications with MS well over 1 month ago, I was told that it would be 'almost inconceivable and not a good thing' (paraphrased by me) if my unit did not get delivered by what I termed as the "Christmas shopping season". Well, the Christmas shopping season is just about here and I still haven't gotten my unit--or even any communication regarding my unit!!! MS is right--this is almost inconceivable and not a good thing.....indeed, not a good thing at all!
