   Does the Funcube exist? Tried since start. Never successful. Appreciate problems and hard work involved but the reality is the product is simply not available. When is one in all reasonableness likely to be available for me to buy? All I need is an honest answer, if you say one month, three months, or whatever, then I will try then.

     I am sorry you have not been successful. To be honest, I expected things to have settled down a month ago, clearly that is not happening. It did seem to slightly quieten down on the 4 March but I guess since a couple of magazine articles it’s encouraged more demand. We did not place or instigate those articles by the way, they were written without any push from us.

     All I can say is that I have ordered a further 500.

     On the basis we originally thought 100 units would be the total market, it is no secret that we completely underestimated demand. Unfortunately manufacturing is not something you can turn on and off like a tap, it takes a lot of planning and co-ordination of resources, as well as dealing with innevitable failures in the supply chain. All to often suppliers will over promise and under deliver and you have to try to juggle that into the mix.

     Again, I am extremely sorry that you have been unsuccessful.
