I must respectfully disagree.

Working hard. Few more days.
Then ∗nothing∗.
While ballendo never asked for any money, he certainly
set the expectations that machine delivery was forthcoming.
I painfully set aside $500 that I did not really have
for the machine, got on his list, and waited and waited.
Eventually, I returned the $500 to the kitty that I raided
and moved on.
I do not have problems with Ballendo changing his plans,
but he certainly did not bother to post a message to ∗this∗
list indicating that his plans had changed.
Having said that, I am ∗still∗ interested in a machine at
$500 in kit form.
My $.02,
