Come on guys, lets look at reality.

Well, JM, the PSIM posts ∗are∗, in fact, monitored.
Larry is "Larry", that's why his post wasn't "lost".
What do YOU ∗really∗ want to hear from Brice anyway?
Maybe..."your unit was shipped yesterday"?
Bad enough, Waiting (almost)a ∗year∗ after paying ∗In full∗, ∗up
front∗ Absolutely ∗no∗ usefull communication from Brice.
So much for PayPal. No help there.
If it had been through my Visa, i'd have my money back in 30days.
U ∗must∗ admit that Brice has been ∗full∗ of empty promises.
As i understand it, there are at least 50 outstanding PSIM orders.
50 x $300 = U add it up, it's your money.
Consider,... if he built/shipped 1 a week, it would take over a year,
∗∗from now∗∗......to get all the "pre-orders" out.
Wasn't Brice taking orders up til July 2004??
larry, U ordered in May?
Many have been waiting, ...and waiting...for almost one year!
Since i joined the PSIM list, ∗my∗ questions about shipping do ∗not∗
get thru. I get personal email crying about this and that and no time,
etc etc,.........then, they too stopped.

There are ∗no∗ refunds from Brice.
He said he spent the money on parts.
Parts? Panels?,
or maybe on food, gas, electricity, clothing, and diapers.
U'll just have to "wait" until he gets good and ready
to decide to find the time to build/ship these "unique modules".
If U can't play with one, how "unique" is that??
I've offered to assemble submodules for him...
He mentioned he had to "match LEDs"?? What a crock!
IMO, he's totally lost creadability.
FWIW, if someone wanted to buy my "promise order",
i'd sell it in an instant.
I could Put the $$ into my ShepardGenerator project.
Hell, the PSIM is not a complex project.
It probably could be cloned so easilly......
Maybe ∗that∗" why no kits?
MayB ∗thats∗ why no delivery? :-p
>The PSIM is a unique, awesome module. Be sure that you don't cut off
>your nose to spite your face. (After all, you've waited this long...)
Unique?? Awesome??
MayB...if U already have access/are using one.
A PSIM, not a nose.
But, i'd like to judge that 4 myself. Can i, Brice?
Also, Many PSIM wantabes have ordered ∗without∗ front panels.
Opting to use a MOTM/Stooge panel instead....larry? for sure.
So, shouldn't that make construction "simpler"??
"the dog ate my engraver" excuse won't work here.
Who knows.....(?) what the "real" problem is.

I hate this speculation/promise of new module crap.
∗IF∗ a PSIM workalike were to exist in another year, so what?
It would probably cost 2x more. Fully assembled, with
custom parts and surfacemount assembly.
∗At least∗ Paul finally figured out how to ∗ship∗ kits.
Given what the PSIM does, a BS2 version wouldn't B that difficult.
To the non-computer litterate, or the non-electronic, or the
non-musician, the PSIM might seem like the Holy Grail.
To me, its HardVaporWare,
which is always "more expensive" than just plain VaporWare.
There are 173 members of the SynthModules list.
Show of hands....how many here are "still waiting"???
....how many ∗actually∗ have a module??
Or, better, yet, post your Qs to the PSIMlist...
.....see if it gets thru.. :-)
