I have no commercial interest in any of these products, or Don's
business but I do admit that
when I hear over and over of all these various problems I do admit
that the more
I read,  I admit that I do wonder if someone with an interest in these
devices
are in some kind of serious trouble - whether it be financial,
regulatory, or technical problems
that cannot be fixed easily and are just pushing out various excuses
to make people believe all is
ok when it might not be.


Reading the articles and forums linked here there tends to be this
feel to it,
of the kind I remember in the past when someone is having serious
business
problems and won't admit to them, and ultimately fail, usually losing
other people's money
in the process.


I don't know Don personally, but in my opinion reading here over the
years,
I think that he is not the sort of person who would resort to
"rubbishing" the PI for
ONLY the reason that it might cost him sales.

Rubbishing it for that reason alone would be futile, as it will
succeed or fail regardless
of Don's opinion, or whether the backers of it survive or fail - as if
it is a great and popular
device, and viable, someone else will soon start making it or a
compatible.


I think you will find that if the PI is successful in the market, does
what it promises to do, and gets a good following he will jump right
in,
post about his experiences with it on here, and possibly do his best
to have them in stock,
or have a compatible version out, whether designed/made by him or a
3rd party




In writing this, I'm giving my own personal opinion, it's not based on
any facts
but past experience in business and dealing with other people and
firms over many years
and am not saying or implying in any way that any organisation or
product is or isn't in any sort of trouble or doing
anything immoral or dishonest or that you should or shouldnt buy /
support anything
