I am not going to dig up all CC's quotes...but there are a lot of inconsistencies. Last I knew they were waiting for injected molded parts. My issue isn't with their timeliness to market...it is with the inconsistent manner in which they have provided information to the buyers.

As a contractor, I manage parts/pieces of some very unique gov't programs, which involve providing deliverables to specific clients...and we depend on all sorts of sub contractors. Fundamentally we are sort of an integration facilitator--it's worth noting that we are a small business. So believe me, I understand the challenges of making milestones and deadlines...but rarely (very rarely) do we miss milestones/deadlines-especially when they are indigenous to our area of specialization. If we have support subcontractors (e.g., like the folks injection molding parts) that can't make their milestones we find other alternatives. This often translates into increased costs to the client, but they are generally happy to pay. And one practice we never engage in is telling the client that "we are going to make the deadline of X..we are just waiting for Y" --especially when there is something more going on behind the scenes than just waiting for "Y."

This is the point my earlier post was attempting to make.

Some of you may not agree--but this is my opinion and that is the purpose of forums--to share knowledge and express opinions.
