Re: Hey Boomer

Michael,

You can get your money back by asking for it seems to me, and keep your place in line leaving the deposit, right?

It's those passers on the delivery earlier that have caused this problem for you sounds like from Jim's post in the RED User forum, and there's little reason to believe this isn't the case.

I can attest that the buzz and the lines to get into RED's booth at NAB this year testify to true revolution they are leading. Attendance was down at the show this year seems like, but the interest in RED's booth didn't diminish at all. Long lines again this year just to enter the booth. I too was totally swamped showing the RED workflow in FCP in AJA's booth. The genuine interest is really something to behold.

At least RED is learning... no deposits being taken for Scarlet, Epic, or Red Ray.. until they are closer to delivery. They took deposits on RED ONE very early, and I think it's biting them now.. but they are learning.

I've never seen a more open company in the industry. Jim Jannard posts publicly in an Internet forum... when's the last time you saw Steve Jobs do that? True, they are not as big a company as Apple, but still... a billionaire CEO (or whatever his title is - they reflect their rebellion in their titles too) posting publicly doesn't happen every day.

The viral marketing they've done is truly as ground breaking as their product as is their revealing of their future roadmap. I think that when you are starting a revolution, things are never going to be totally smooth sailing don't think. Remember Valley Forge?

All that said though, I certainly can see where you're upset. But hey, get your money back; they will gladly give it to you I'll bet.

Sincerely feeling your pain, believing that this bump in the road is nothing more than that, and still holding to the belief that RED is leading a revolution,

Jerry
