Believe us, if we could have put the amount of $ we've spent on pre-orders upfront we would of. That's just logical. But what I'm saying is we've invested as the money came along. No debt. No maxxed out cards hoping to recoup the cost quickly. This is a sound approach and we stand behind it.
I see, yes in that case - you've done it exactly as I would have. Like I said, at this point I'm choosing to diversify a bit with other hardware orders, just because I want to try them out and the longer the delay gets the more likely that one of the other makers will deliver first.
Don't get me wrong, I'd still love it if BFL ships first. But I'm not counting on that for maintaining my mining income.
