I like the guy, I like his work too, but also think he's in over his head with his effort to solo. he's an artist-designer, good one too, business and production is a much different beast. I do wish he were able to roll like Spooky is doing now, from announcement to production wasn't very long at all..
also think Zizzle shot themselves in the foot going too flimsy with hardware, encountering deserved dissatisfaction for problems and running away, instead of stepping up to build more and better. I sure dont think thats John's fault, the concept of easily shippable affordable 3/4 size machines is good, a re-visit by a more product-customer responsible manufacturer could be great. if good "toys" were flying out the door they could build larger darn near as easily, and stay affordably priced too.
not knocking John or trying to pidgeon-hole him, just think design IS what he's good at and needs a solid manufacturer to produce.. which sure does seem the reality to me.
