Did he skype because he did not want to face customers in person?
Nice Hotel complex by the way. Whenever I'm in the Metroplex, I try to stay at the Hilton Anatole. They have a Ronald Reagan Suite. Nice alcove by the entry door that anyone can see.
The moving mural hanging from the ceiling in the atrium is really nice to look at when it is dark outside.
Quoted from MrBally:Did he skype because he did not want to face customers in person?
He was just coming back from a show in Italy. There is only but so much travel and appearances a person can make. Someone else from JJP is at this show.
Quoted from PBINTHESOUTH:10-15 games per day by mid April then up to 60 games per day max though doesn't think ever near max
What does this mean? 60 games per day max is the maximum capacity, but he doesn't think they will ever get near that?
Quoted from RobT:60 games per day max is the maximum capacity, but he doesn't think they will ever get near that?
Well maybe he just likes to perpetuate all the delay fun! 
1800 pins a month rolling out.... 
Quoted from PBINTHESOUTH:Working on 3 diff licenses music movie and another secret
And no originals, which we were all so excited about early on? Sigh.
Quoted from PopBumperPete:Still cannot see them shipping (in numbers) by the end of the month
Shipping starts this month..any number is good and 10-15 by mid-April, I'll take it...
Woz will soon be in the house!

with 40 games already built and waiting on the redesigned boards, the end of the month is only 2 weeks away, nobody has yet been contacted in regards to shipping of their machine
Quoted from PopBumperPete:with 40 games already built and waiting on the redesigned boards, the end of the month is only 2 weeks away, nobody has yet been contacted in regards to shipping of their machine
Its more than 40. Looks like they have a few hundred built waiting for boards and code.
He seemed very confident that they're ready to ship
And public code is way behind
Sorry had to leave early to get lunch for wife...
Will find out more info if I can from others there...
Quoted from dannunz:Its more than 40. Looks like they have a few hundred built waiting for boards and code.
Yep, JJ said 200 ready and waiting, in any event, pins are shipping very soon and that's a great thing!
Quoted from rommy:If any of these start-ups turn out to be vaporware...I mean what are the odds that one of the 5 or 6 new ones does not get produced?
The "odds" are a lot greater for some versus others...but I think the first round gets done and then we'll see who is left standing...
Quoted from iceman44:Well maybe he just likes to perpetuate all the delay fun! 1800 pins a month rolling out....
I swear Ice, 50% of the time I can't tell if you are joking or are serious.
You really think that they will be rolling out 1800 pins a month?
Quoted from PBINTHESOUTH:Factory code will be in 60s and Complete on production this mknth
What does this mean?
Quoted from StevenP:What does this mean?
It probably means that right now we are not seeing everything that has been done by Keith and crew to this point.
Quoted from StevenP:What does this mean?
I think the latest software version is .58 so the 60s will be a bit more advanced, I think.
Latest on public is 59
Jj said its way behind factory and will probably be somewhere in 60s in production...

Glad I keep you guessing!....of course I'm kidding...just saying 60 x 30 days = 1800 or 20 work days = 1200, obviously that ain't happenin...

Thanks very much for the ongoing updates, really appreciate it. It's very cool for those tuning in from the other side of the world to have someone relaying announcements as they are made. Hope you can cover the Multimorphic P3 seminar too if you are attending.
Sana'a
10 a day would be fair enough .... I have time. So my pin would be build around august.
Thats quite okay.
As many have said, when you see Cars in the parking lot hes started mass production. 10-15 a day would be good though as they will start to trickle out and to the end customer. would take about 150-180 days to fulfill all open orders (assuming they work 5 day weeks)
Assuming once they hit production everything goes very very smoothly.
Quoted from Gexchange:0-15 a day would be good though as they will start to trickle out and to the end customer. would take about 150-180 days to fulfill all open orders (assuming they work 5 day weeks)
I heard 100 in an Australian forum a little while ago, and I did hear 200 somewhere else more recently. I don't know if the same number is merely growing as it makes the rounds (up to 300 now I see) but we do know they ARE building playfields while waiting for final boards.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:They can't be building games. Where's all the cars in the parking lot?
Don't they have about 10-15 guys that are able to work on playfields even before hiring some laborers.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:They can't be building games. Where's all the cars in the parking lot?
there are no cars in the parking lot because jack has the oompa loompas working on games.
that way,no one can steal his most precious pinball making secrets.

180 days makes sense for all open orders. From what Abel told me it could be 6 months to get my standard.
