#Emplant Status Report
Howdy…
Some of you folks have been tracking the Emplant's progress via me…so
here is the latest progress report.
* I mentioned earlier that UU had sent a postcard stating that they were
going to charge my card (this was received some weeks ago), although they
had not shipped yet. I had not yet gotten this charge…but the
accounting department today passed this on to me. They charged the card
on 9/16/92. I am pretty sure that charging a card 6+ weeks prior to
shipping product is frowned on by the various powers that be.
* I called UU today; although they have claimed in the past that they
have shipped units, I got the distinct *impression* (comments like, "Yeah,
we're finally going to get these suckers out the door") from them that
they were actually going to ship something. Of course, no one has
reported anywhere actually having one of these units.
* UU stated that they had finally squashed some bugs, and that all
orders up to those received two weeks ago would be sent out this week.
* I was told to call tomorrow to confirm that my card was going out.
They said that they could get it out tomorrow, potentially. I told them
that I *had* to have product before my credit card bill was due, plain and
simple (its due Friday). They said that they should be able to do this
for me, no problem.
So, here is the situation as it stands: UU finally agrees to be pinned
down. They claimed that they would give me ship date, tracking#, etc…so
we'll see if they will do so tomorrow. If they finally have something to
ship, I'll see it this week. No board by Friday, chargeback, plain and
simple.
I honestly believe that I'll be seeing a board this week. Whether or
not it works may be a very different story.
