Just got it. Three weeks and two days from the time I pressed the button. Despite a 4 to 5 week lead time warning on the site. I'm impressed.

I had actually foreseen this occurrence with remarkable prescience....last week an update from my POC anti-virus software cratered my network (again), and I've been spending the last week trying to fix it (no luck) and get my computer setup backed up and recreated from a 6 month old Windows Image file that I'd saved. (Thank God!)

So while I was vigorously and creatively cursing Norton last week, I actually commented that the machine would no doubt arrive while the computer was down.

Nailed it!

There are pre-sliced GCode files on the included SD card. You don't need no stinkin computer to print! (just to slice your own files rather than the included ones)

funny how the Anti-Virus is always the culprit...

Dual boot a new OS while you try to recover the old one.

Chuckle! Yeah, no worries, I've got it back up and running again, but I lost a week of learning time on my Rhino software, and I had spent a lot of time cleaning up un-used programs and crap from the system several months ago that I've now had to load back on with the Windows Image.

So now I'm at the "Man, I've REALLY got to clean all of this garbage back off again and run a new Image before I play with anything new" phase of the reasoning process.

Somebody up there really likes to test my resolve.......
(Don't take any bets on this one.)
