    Yeah. Am I supposed to be upset by this? Fuggen thing worked when it shipped. Are people angry that the marketing campaign started before every single engineering problem was solved? Why?

      I’m not upset at all. Because I understand. But maybe they are upset they promised something they didn’t know they could deliver.
