Mea culpa!
The thing is I absolutely wish Norman all the best in this enterprise, as if it works out I would like one of my customers to buy one of his supplies. And you are right, I could get off my butt and build one, but it would be way more expensive than buying one of Normans.
But do I take it that you consider it OK to offer a product, and then not deliver? Norman has used this forum to bring it to the attention of SSL owners, and this is where I first saw it. Nothing wrong with that.
I am well aware of how long it takes to build things, and the problems of doing this. But Norman said ordering could begin in February.
Its now February. And Norman is very hard to get hold of. I have left my email on his website.
My client has a very dodgy power supply, and I would really like for him to get a nice new one, and hopefully Norman will make some money out of it, and we will all be happy. I don't think implying that I am some sort of Gearslutz Slut is very helpfull to any of us.
If I order something from Mouser, and there is no stock, they tell me. Similarly Norman could have a list of prospective customers, and let them know what is going on. Its not hard to do, and it keeps your clients informed. And the more he makes, the more profit he makes, so its all good.
