Kent and I have read with interest all of the flames directed to Dr. Evil
Labs recently concerning Kermit 2.0 and the lack of distribution. The following
is our official response and will hopefully put this issue to rest.
We understand quite well why some of you may be upset on not receiving
version 2.0 yet, but having gotten your cancelled checks back. Here are the
reasons (not excuses) for any delays.
1) Dr. Evil Labs is a business, and as such, the standard policy is to
wait for all checks to clear. (=: This includes from our grandmothers :=)
2) Due to the OVERWHELMING response, we had to secure more blank disks
for Kermit distribution. This takes 1 to 2.5 weeks.
3) Whether it was explicitly stated before or not, all of the people
involved in Dr. Evil Labs are in school and, at certain times of the year, have
certain other responsibilities (i.e. final exams).
4) Kent and I do not handle the distribution directly during the school
year because we are not allowed to receive or send business mail from our
college dorm. One of the two people who has generously DONATED his time to
help us during the college year has had a severe family crisis recently. The
other person who is helping is Kent's mother.
With all these things in mind, we still apologize for any delays. We
are really fired up about the Kermit project, and we really do care about
improving and distributing Kermit and we are NOT (repeat NOT) trying to steal
your money or pull an April Fool's joke. Please be patient. All orders
received thus far should be at their destinations by Monday, May 18.
Once again, thank you for your patience. I (Ray) will be at here at
Purdue most of the summer to receive any Email concerning Kermit. Kent
will be at the 'home office' (Ha, Ha) to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
