I can't find where I read it but I think I saw somewhere that you are expecting new stock mid January? If so, will you be doing preordering so they can be presented as (belated) Christmas presents?

Yes - so far, they're due to ship on Boxing Day, so after I get back from Christmas break I'll put them on sale.

I won't be doing pre-orders though - I've never had a great deal of success with it outside KickStarter, I think because I sell a lot to countries where English isn't a first language and it can be very hard to ensure that everyone knows that the devices aren't shipping immediately so I don't end up with some unhappy customers. It's a lot less hassle just put them on sale later.

OK that's fair enough, I hadn't considered that but can see how it could cause unnecessary tension. I'm on the email list so I'll just keep my eyes out after the holidays.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
