to ship to a different address than the credit card statement.
To order the boards from you I'm going to use the company credit card so they will be sent to my office.
I really don't want products shipped to my house, (Where no one is at till after 7pm every night)
Any chance of you ever changing this policy?

Lots of companies do this - www.newegg.com has a similar policy to prevent fraud. What RandyT might consider, and it might work for you - NewEgg used to have a policy that you could request that the item be held at the FedEx office and then you would go pick it up there. (Was easier for me than having the FedEx guy stop by when I wasn't home, then be re-delivering it when I tried to pick it up there, etc.)
But I'm not sure if Randy uses FedEx, or if his shipper supports this.

Just call your credit card company and have them add your work address as a legitimate delivery address.
dabone:
It's a debit card on my bank account, and they only allow the 1 address.
(Sucks but thats the way it is.)
And newegg doesn't have that policy, I've ordered from them multiple times and had it shipped to my office.

Individuals that want the new version will need to email me. I'll deal with this on an individual basis, but users that purchased in the month of April will be updated at no charge if they contact me with the desire to do so.
There will be a reasonable charge for others, with the exception of solder Eco's. Unfortunately, there is no update path for these.

Well hell. I JUST got my two Ecos not all that long ago, because I can handle the wiring and figured I'd save a few bucks instead of getting screw terminals.
When you say there's no update path for the Ecos, is that just because the chip is soldered instead of socketed? Is the upgrade path for the Max simply to get a new chip and replace the one on the board? Can I just get the upgrade and a pair of 40-pin chip sockets and fix my Ecos like that, or is there something more different about the Max vs. the Eco?
If only they had flashable firmware...
Lilwolf:
If your really worried about it. You can probably sell them for just a bit below what the new ones will sell for.
Sure the new features are REALLY cool. But there will be some people who want to save a few bucks... and don't need it to change at runtime...
But one of the disadvantages of soldered boards. Never an easy upgrade path. :(
