Shipping Progress

My suggestion to those waiting for their devices - just be patient.

I can only imagine what sort of logistical headaches they are going through, plus all the unforeseen expenses trying to hit scale in such a short time.

With margins as tight as they're cutting for their board, I imagine the folks at pine are due some slack, since this is their first delivery of their boards.

I would imagine if I suddenly had to fulfill 80k boards instead of a thousand or so like they were initially hoping for, I would soil my shorts.

To those who keep asking for status updates, I would wait for them to plow through their initial order some before demanding updates on what is being shipped when.  By getting nervous and asking tons of one-off questions, you are only making it take longer for everyone.

I know it's exciting, but don't let your enthusiasm take away your enjoyment when you finally get your board by making you impatient.  Many journalists predicted that the pine64 would be available early 2017.  Personally, I think even if I get my board in first half of 2016, they're doing great.

Just my two cents,
John
