Haha, thanks. Things were getting too speculative. The idea of saying "there's a good chance the deal will go away" and "we could end up with a longer backlog if we don't order now" without any reasonable way of knowing just bothered me. It was FUD and I don't like that.<div>
<br></div><div>I certainly prefer to just get things done rather than speculate back and forth, especially when people don't readily agree - facts tend to solve problems and speculation only makes them worse. I'm glad that we've been able to get this done though and I'm proud of all of us for making this happen! (assuming we get through the next couple of days and everyone pays without the world exploding).</div>

So we can order now and it will be no sweat for anyone if we cancel. I'm sold.

Start collecting the money. Once you get it (or someone volunteers to<br>
cover the costs of anyone who fails to show up with the money), order<br>
the laser cutter.<br>
<br>
If Sean wins the Epilog before it is ordered, either refund or buy<br>
accessories.<br>
<br>
If Sean wins the Epilog before it ships, cancel the order, either refund<br>
or buy accessories.<br>
<br>
If Sean wins the Epilog after it ships, you have two or you can return<br>
the extra and either refund or buy accessories.<br>
<br>
Otherwise the laser cutter will show up and next time I make it to SF<br>
someone can amaze me with the wonderous creations it makes.<br>
