Where the hell is the Cougar?

When is TM going to get the things shipped?

Why do they keep stalling?

I dunno man.  I'm on the verge of giving up on getting a Cougar..mostly due to the lack of information on the release.  If they are that bad on telling customers when they can give money to the company in exchange for a product, I wonder how well they plan on supporting it.

There has been a limited shipment to all of the US distributors recently, and Amazon has already shipped from one of their facilities.  Mine is ordered with Flight Sim Central, and they think theirs will be in today.  I don't think any of the distributors got enough to fill all of their orders, but a second shipment is expected later this week to all of them (from what I've heard).

I must assume you were pointing to your bellybutton when you said this.

Just checked my checking account... can't see who reserved the cash... but it looks to be the same ammount as the Cougar I pre-orderd with FSC.

For ya all that ordered from FSC they got 210 units in today.

See SOB's thread on it in the Hardware/Software Forum.

AKDJV, the holiday of which ya speak, was when we politely asked 'em to "get the hell out", we didn't kick thier tulips til a couple years after that.

Speaking of which tho, we all outta hook up the 4th of July in Portland and have a beer.

Everyone knows that Thanksgiving originates from pilgrims celebrating not being in Europe anymore.
