Copied from the 9/18 K3 update, written by Eric:
"Wayne and I discussed the schedule and our open issues today. While we both felt that we may start shipping in two weeks, we agreed we should add a week to that and conservatively set the official K3 first ship date for Monday Oct 8th." ...so the good news is that there have been no further updates.

Am I the only one who finds the "jive translation" less than funny? Can we please have no more of this? This reflector is a wonderful place to learn about Elecraft products and get help when needed. There are adequate other venues for denigrating humor. This reflector is not one of those places. Or am I just an old fuddy-duddy? - Jim, KL7CC JT Croteau wrote: > On 9/27/07, Mark Bayern <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> Copied from the 9/18 K3 update, written by Eric: >> > > and here is what happens when you put it through the Jive Translator: > > "Wayne and ah' discussed da damn schedule and our jimmey issues today. > Slap mah fro!

The K3 will get here when it gets here. If someone can't make fun of the situation every once in a while, what the heck? You guys sure can put up with the whining. .. and that is all I have to say about that. I will return you to your whining and questions about things already answered in the archives and in the FAQ. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH (FN42gx) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Seeing how many of you assume I am a racist for translating some of
Eric's last announcement into Jive, let me also offer up a Swedish Chef translation Hopefully, this will prove that I make fun of everyone equally and, therefore, can no way be a racist. Swedish Chef: "Veyne-a und I deescoossed zee schedoole-a und oooor oopee issooes tudey. Vheele-a ve-a but felt thet ve-a mey stert sheepping in tvu veeks, ve-a egreed ve-a shuoold edd a veek tu thet und cunserfeteefely set zee ooffffeeciel K3 furst sheep dete-a fur Mundey Ooct 8t. Bork Bork Bork!" Note to Eric and Wayne, no need to scold me.. I won't do anything like this again. *grin* Meanwhile, I suggest to several people, that they go out and rent Airplane - The Movie, and see if June Cleaver should also be called a racist for speaking Jive. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH (FN42gx) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hmmmm, guess the UPS web site doesn't know about the holiday...maybe we should tell them? I told their calculator I wanted to ship a package from Aptos to Baltimore on October 8, 2007.

You are correct... My postal gal just mentioned Oct 8th was a holiday, as she was dropping off the mail.
But a quick check of 'observed' holidays at UPS, confirmed that they will do pickup and deliveries on the 8th...

IMHO, I think too many of us get offended too fast; and maybe we need to develop thicker skins, perhaps.

PLEASE DO NOT POLICE THE LIST OR CRITICIZE POSTINGS

And guys, please do NOT criticize the postings of others here. Feel free
to email the moderator (me) and I'll jump in when I feel it is necessary. The volume of comments following a posting are much more harmful than any posting I've seen here lately. Also, We've seen a lot of 'One Liner' comments lately. Please resist the urge to comment on every posting with 'me too' or 'I disagree' or other 1 liner non-substantive comments. They only make the noise level intolerable for those reading the list.

Of course things could go too far....perhaps we should never use the term OM, since some might view it as age-related discrimination. It would appear that some folks have stopped using such antiquated sexist terms like XYL. And just to confuse the issue(which shouldn't be one), in many areas "Jive Talk" is racially neutral...like baggy pants, etc....various colors of folks use the language...and so to poke fun at the language pattern is not racial. 73 - k3hrn Thom,EIEIO Email, Internet, Electronic Information Officer www.baltimorehon.com/ Home of the Baltimore Lexicon www.tlchost.net/hosting/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Whatever happened to free speech? There are all sorts of things that
somebody will find offensive. It's a strange world we live in where we have the freedom to call the government a bunch of crooks and idiots, but not to make a parody of some ethnic group, not even in a context that made it clear it was supposed to be humorous. Somebody should get this Jive Translator site shut down, it is clearly a threat to our civilized society. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
