RE: June shipments
I had been waiting until I had a firm answer, but that has not happened yet.
I expect the shipment to leave Bangkok June 14. This is several weeks later than I had hoped, and I apologize for this. The builder ran into problems with his laser cutter and everything ran at a snail's pace for several weeks. It's still not finished, but getting very close.
This means that delivery will slip a few weeks from the "late June" forecast. It looks now like mid-July at the earliest.
Again, I'm sorry about the delay, nobody regrets it more than I.

RE: June shipments
You're right. I'm not happy. I am compulsively punctual, and it drives me nuts to miss a schedule.
I used to own a drag strip. Drag races are notorious for their lethargic pace with people standing around all day waiting on long delays.
I tried very hard to fix that, ran all my races on a tight schedule. Guess what! People complained that they didn't get their money's worth because the race was over several hours earlier than the previous guy's races.
You can't win.
I have also tried real hard to get people to trust my delivery dates and this puts a crimp in that too.
Fooey!

RE: June shipments
Tom, the most important thing is that you have always been honest with us, and we appreciate it. There is nothing better out there especially in the 28% size, so they are definitely worth the wait.
Hey, the bright side is you will probably again have all of them sold before they reach the dock!
Hang in there
