We have been waiting and waiting for Lightscoop production samples from our manufacturer. We're still waiting. Apparently, my creed — a deadline is not a goal — does not apply outside the world of journalism.

In this brave new world of commerce, we wait — and wait. So for all of you who have been asking "WHEN?" I can only answer that I will let you know when I know. We have been told to expect the samples tomorrow, but then we've been waiting more than two weeks for those samples. Once we approve the samples, it's either a matter of days or — we've learned — weeks.

I'm beginning to think that mid-May is going to be mid-June... will keep you posted! Meanwhile, I believe the website should be operational by early next week.
