Whilst I tend to agree with you, it's easier for some who already have well
equipped shacks to live with that decision than others. I still feel sorry
for the guy a few months ago who sold his only radio so as to put down a
deposit on a K3, never realizing how long he would have to wait. Vendors do
have a responsibility to make accurate advertising and at the time I placed
my deposit I never realized how much of the K3 was just an idea rather than
an actual working prototype. Since I now have my albeit incomplete K3 it's
hard to still feel annoyed about it, but I'm going to remember this episode
when the K4 is announced in another 8 years time and I may well decide to
wait that one out as a result.
