Pretty much the same as last month:
Thank you for your email, and thank you once again for pre-ordering your Truly Ergonomic Keyboard.
We are expecting delivery of pre-production models very soon. Once we receive them, we will capture a complete set of images, which we will upload to our website for your review at your leisure.
Our primary goal is to bring our line of products to market as soon as possible. We have put far too much effort and a very large investment into our Corporation to allow it to vanish into thin air. We know that customers like yourself and other pre-order customers appreciate this.
We offer our gratitude for your patience and support once more, and will contact you again when we have uploaded the images, or when we have a more accurate delivery date.
Regards,
Michelle
Customer Service
Truly Ergonomic Ltd.

To save some effort, you could make few posts at a time:
"Truly Ergonomic Communication - 1 May 2011"
"Truly Ergonomic Communication - 1 June 2011"
"Truly Ergonomic Communication - 1 July 2011"
etc.
You know what they are going to say.

Perhaps TE has been replaced with a very small shell script?

Alfredo Buhler is his name and he has a patent of the TE keyboard!
Also a canadian patent: http://www.seravia.com/trademark/canada/alfredo-buhler-truly-ergonomic-design-34fck71n1 (http://www.seravia.com/trademark/canada/alfredo-buhler-truly-ergonomic-design-34fck71n1)
This seems to give some credebility to the case, or not???

Nope. That only makes it a really clever and elaborate scam, rather than just an elaborate scam. At least, that's what the some people here would say.

This is the man!! I think...
A scam? I even found an adress in Vancouver, canada, we could pay him a visit...look at the factory, see what the progress is...haha.

Buhler?
Buhler?
Buhler?

Well that is defo your man, he even lists trulyergonomic in his jobs...
Does this give the TE slightly more credibility?
-
Buhler?
Buhler?
Buhler?
Your point being...??

Well the fact that there are 5 different patents for similar looking keyboards ranging from 2002 kinda does suggest that this guy was serious about producing this keyboard at some point..
It is possible that it is currently going tits up at the moment and he doesn't know quite how to salvage it.. Hence the poor communication?
Further investigation shows that one of the patents is for a rather odd looking building...

Seriously? That is one of the most fitting pop culture references I've made in my life, and you stare back drooling like one of the students? Sometimes life imitates art.
-
Agreed. This place is depressing.

I see, I should probably know quotes from a movie called "Ferris Bueler goes somewhere" ...
Well known in some places, but not where I live. I'll look into it.
-
Agreed. This place is depressing.
What's the problem? I'm doing my Sherlock Holmes Google thing here, finding out who's behind the TE supposed scam, writing in a language not my own, and I get this sort of comments?
When you find a place depressing, you have choices....
Greetings from Holland! A small country somewhere in Europe.

Hi, here in Holland we know a lot, probably to much about American TV culture: Seinfeld, Cheers, Hill Street Blues (Let's be carefull out there), 3d rock from the sun, 30 rock, SNL, Leno, Letterman, that 70's show, King of Queens, californication, the list goes on and on....
I'm very sorry "Ferris" wasn't on the list, I'll try to do better next time...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a MUST SEE!!!! =)

Watching it right now! So far not a waste of my time...
Watched it! Great movie, glad I'm educated now, thanks guys.
Did I mention I'm a math teacher? (anyone, anyone....) LOL

Damn, good timing, I'm trying to figure out the circumference of my trackball for DPI calculations.
Was it pi r squared?
Pie are round.
In case you're serious, circumference is Pi * Diameter.

Pi is so yesterday, soon everyone will have converted to tau (http://tauday.com/)!
