    Do, and I've left a vm..

Can't speak to the one example of slick's 'dongle-issue', but.. Perhaps they got those DB-25 dongles mixed-up with other's who were 'time-limited', etc, and / or some other 'rational' explanation.. They're not known for being outright rip-off artists..

    ..I've even suffered this happening before, a loong time ago, and it was flooding that wiped out their tel-room / service, etc, and there was no 'just go to vm' set up, etc..Not saying that's 'what's going on, now' (You'd think, at least, they would 'forward to a cell' / pager / vm, etc..) but, just that there ended-up being a 'logical explanation', in the end..

    re: CT 'shortage', I heard, from this same person, who is quite-certainly still 'in the know' that they (CTs) are all 'Made in China' now +_+ ..so that could explain the 'long delay', (ie: if CT got in some 'fight' with the Factory over there, or it collapsed in a quake (..you know how well they build factories / schools / hospitals, etc over there.. So, who knows..) But, I'd certainly not peg the blame on OSLS / some nefarious "story" they cooked up to abscond with hard-earned bux.. That's just flat-out not their style..

    ..If I get a call back, I'll encourage them to login / post 'wassup', here, and they've been made aware of the 'urgency' of people's concerns, etc, so best to also try and, at least, comm / update, etc..

    Anyhoo, fwiw..

    I am local and have a house in Clearwater I am trying to sell. I need to pick up a couple lasers I have sitting there. I have known Fred and Amanda for 25 years and Bob Ash before he started NML. This does not sound like tham at all. I just sent then an e mail....bad news.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I have never ever known them to rip off anyone. I have no idea.....

    is the number still disconnected?
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    'Tis, and I've not-gotten a reply-back from pinging them thru their 'eBay store' / auctions, either, so.. Not sure what the deale-o, is, but.. I'd bet the farm it's NOT anything like 'going OOB', really don't see that happening, and as Bob-himself testified, he's in regular-contact w/ Fred, and said 'No, that's not happening.. If it was, I'd know, direct from Fred'.. He asked me to *not* post what HE 'thought was going on', but.. He didn't have any 'explicit info', just a 'theory', but, Did-say, he was *certain* it was Not 'going OOB'.. So, again, I believe there is some 'rational explanation' / complex-situ going on, not-exactly sure whatup, but..

    ..Regardless, having the phone line Down / not-forwarded at least, isn't cool / good-biz, so.. Hope they get - whatever - sorted right-quick! (..I need some 100W mirr, soon, myself!!

    This is coming across as strange and mysterious. Back orders from January can happen, but has there been no recent, positive communication? What about EMS and all the other products they sell? They can't have a business that depends only on the few items that have not been fulfilled.

    If their lines are down (all of them simultaneously?) then they will be among the first to know and normally would reach out spontaneously to this forum and major customers by any of a number of alternative means. No one should have to drive by to see if there are any feet sticking out of the rubble.

    The only plausible explanation is that they don't want to talk to anyone and for a business that means they don't want to do any business.

    Does this have anything to do with Marc? I wouldn't be surprised, but I have no way of knowing.
