    You are not let down buy the shows. The manufacturers and distributors and resellers decide what they do at what events and what dates product will be produced and released.
    Market size as well as international trading factors and laws of the land... taxation and duties etc will all have their sway. The shows are purely a venue and not the ultimate point of sale.

    It is also possible for feedback to be given from hands out side of the point of manufactur and as far as I am concerned ANYTHING that means the MK1 hits the end user with as much R&D as possible is no bad thing. I never rush now to get S/N 000000001 because I don't want to be the open market researcher for the maker with all the ballache that can entail.

    Lets face facts... product is pulled thats "good & trusted" in favour of an "upgraded" product usually with huge delays... lots of issues... and a waste of your time and money.

    Its a balance. It is far from perfect but the maker needs to get it right with all of the pressures that a manufacturer faces which is another story on its own.

    I would rather they kept their mouths shut and launch when it is possible to actually supply the end user with an on the money product bug free.

    But the shows are not the issue TBH.

    Fair enough, but it's not something I've noticed before on a lot of his other posts.

    This post and another is the most I have seen but he has posted before with spelling errors. Maybe he uses spellcheck if using a computer but not if he replies via a mobile .

    I am. I sometimes have time to read posts before i send. Other times I dont. Also 99% of posts are on a mobile with a small keyboard and big digits. I dont use autocorrect as more often than not it uses a word that is clearly not in context.

    I wont mention my close vision also varies daily and on a small screen..... its difficult to spot.

    With you on that one. I can't see it close up, and if I hold it far away it's too small. Autocorrect is a pain.

    I’ll third it dyslexia and bad short sight suck some of the stuff I send out from work baffles the hell out of some people and an American spell check does not help.
