I have to give the designer credit for getting this far. It is VERY obvious he isn't a crook. I still believe he is doing everything necessary to make this a success. I spoke too negatively before - while it isn't a certainty he will either fail or succeed in the long run - that depends on sales and profit - but right now, I am satisfied that in the short term he will succeed.
Glad to see you're still reasonably optimistic. I am as well, but not enough to put down the requested 50% for a pre-order.
