Thanks for the quick reply!

Wow, I'm really impressed by the slowness of this. It took them only three months to put 17 percent of the stuff from the shelfs into a box?

In truth, they wait for the replacement vacuum tubes to repair their data processing machine:

From left to right: Data operator and sales manager, discussing Deskthority mini group-buy request.

We should just run an interest check to see if people is interested in a Unicomp group buy. I mean, to buy Unicomp itself! Most people here could run the company better than they do!

Look for this on Google Maps:
510 Henry Clay Boulevard Lexington, Kentucky 40505
The facility is in ruins! Just notice the cracks on the inner parkings!

Re 7-bit and all...

What do you mean by "Do you prefer direct shipping or should someone serve as a proxy?"?

Do you mean "direct shipping from you" and you're located in Europe? or "direct shipping from theferenc" who's in the U.S. and which would kinda defeat the point of the group buy!?

Asking because I'm a bit confused but happy to see the progress

Some people wanted to serve me as a proxy, because of customs fees, or for local pickup.

- Direct shipping is from the US.
- I can serve as a proxy (shipping from Berlin, DE).
- Someone near you can serve as a proxy.
- theferenc can keep your stuff and you pick it up from him when you come near by.

I thought part of the idea behind a group buy was to help alleviate some of the wallet-battering caused by import costs, and get a lot shipped together - so a proxy would make sense in each zone. Has anything been discussed?

Yup same here. I'm confuzzabled: I thought basically the main point was that DT was mostly euro members and that there would be a single US -> Euro shipping for which we'd all share costs.

Anyway: I'm in for 7-bit as my proxy (you'll need to re-ship to a country very close to DE ; )

We will do whatever is cheaper!

So you live in one of:
DK,NL,BE,LU,FR,CH,AT,BY,CZ,PL

DK here. Proxy is fine by me. I'd prefer the fastest method, but whatever suits the group is fine

Yup, shipping address shall be in BE for me : ) (but really no hurries for me: I already got a my share of the loot from a previous Unicomp group buy ; )

Perhaps this will be a Christmas present? =)

anything new regarding the sorting process?

RCN.


Really!

No presents this year it seems...

I have no doubt that their is a reason for the delay, but the lack of information is a little bit unfortunate. I mean some time has gone since the last update. I hope the best though.

The reason is ... just read yourself:
