Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Order from HALFBASE - Should we or should wenot?

[Hillar Lago]

I think we all have similar bad experiences with halfbase, I am still waiting on the cables ordered 4 month later, and he simple never shipped them. He also said he would credit 10% to institutions, I am still waiting for the credit.

 

I support his removal as well.
