I agree....I agree....
a simple sheet of paper could avoid disaster for many..

By the way, if you are a good programmer and need money offer your assistance to create some custom software here. This forum is now holding onto $6.1 million dollars in bitcoin. Several people are getting angry since the site operator has chosen to just hold onto all that bitcoin and actually hire someone to do the work. This version SMF is terribly old and really needs an update. I have a funny feeling the forum operator is having a hard time letting that donation money go. He's probably trying to figure a way to cash it all out and leave for an island somewhere.

It is VERY common practice for companies to add critical and important notices in the hardware boxes that people receive. What would make you expect everyone read that online? Having inside the box when a customer opens it up almost guarantees they will read it. Adding a piece of paper with some text on it before taping up the box is trivial and would cost KNC nothing. They should cover all bases if they really cared about people bricking units.

Is reading a lost art or something?  Yes I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect someone to read the damned instructions given on the firmware download page.  If you can't expect that, I doubt you can expect them to read a printed page shipped in the box either.

Personally I'll have no sympathy for someone who is too dumb to RTFM and then bricks their box.  Maybe they'll learn to pay attention next time.

Sorry, it's the can of coke I just gargled down. The caffeine pumps me up at 1:30am in the morning.

Jesus Bogart, electronic companies have been putting in flash notices in the hardware boxes since there were electronics. Just because you happen to have read what was online doesn't mean everyone else has. It's almost like you are against adding a notice to protect and help the customer out. Also, if it does have flash notice that would suggest it is really an important point the company wants to get across to the user. Finding that info on some forum that KNC doesn't even moderate in a line of news articles can easily be missed. Damn dude, where all the hate come from?

It's not buried in some forum.  It's right on the same page you have to go to to download the firmware itself, and in red text no less.

Neptune is out of stock   

I still have one in my cart...   looks like I could still purchase but I think I will pass

I doubt it would go through anyway. 

Knowing KNC they would probably just put it into 2nd batch if the webpage lets it through...  I bet some will try

It would most likely get cancelled.
I went thru that with nov. units....sold out means.....sold out.

Interested in the paid order I hope you mean, the unpaid one will net zero, they are gone. lol
I'm sure the 12.5k PricePoint will show up soon tho
I was actually thinking similar, a repeat of what I just did.
Hedging the novembers for neptunes.

Thay can't just cancel every order in the basket now, fyi some paid per wire transfer, which can take up to 5 days.

Lol, after sold out, it doesn't matter what you got in basket, only if you clicked to last payout and they waiting for payment
