That is largely the point I have been trying to make lately... Although I don't think those processor boards are wirewrapped! Probably surface mount BGAs with over 1000 contacts! Wirewrapping that many digital signals would require more real estate than all four of Trixie's giant pods! Nowadays you can get a 72 hour turn time on a good digital Gerber package for fairly complex 10 to 20 layer boards for reasonable money, and the Gerber files map into the manufacturer's equipment for solder paste screen and pick and place (automated component placement). All pretty standardized these days. Prototype boards can be surprisingly close to production-ready and not nearly as expensive as 20 years ago.

As for cask strength running over 60%/120 proof... maybe to close the night. Start with that, it will be a short evening!

I tend to agree. And even if it was a manipulative delay, what kind of manipulation would that be? Trying to successfully bring a product over the finish line? Isn't that goal for all of us, and why would Mac want anything different?

But I understand the brooding and looking for schemes by some of the posters. The main thing we do not want is to be as long term investors having dished out our well-earned money for the development of SPORT, only to see our investment diluted into nothing, others benefiting later on. That would be a hard pill to swallow.

I think the above is a genuine issue that is still at play, but otherwise, in terms of the need for making these changes to SPORT, I have no issues with the delay.
