This is a suggestion and not yet in effect!
This may become the official sign-up list for one (or more) of Stenovations' custom MacNTouch units. (Background is in this post.)
Rules:
1) Basics
1.1) This first post lays down the rules. The rules are altered according to discussion until agreement to finalize them. Then the rules are no longer changed.
1.2) The first reply to this post is THE LIST. It will only be modified by the admin.
1.3) Any following replies are discussions to the rules.
1.4) Replies that are just a wish are ignored and may be deleted by the admin. Send me a PM - that is the only way. The same applies to corrections of wishes. Send me a PM.
2) Wishing
2.1) Submit a wish by sending me a PM and specifying:
(a) your full name and full international postal address
(b) valid e-mail address
(c) what kind of unit you absolutely want (just one!)
(d) how many additional US Qwerty/US Dvorak units you wish.
Items (a)-(c) are mandatory. Item (d) is optional.
I will then post only your screen name and your wish in the list. Later, the name&address details will be passed to Stenovations.
2.2) Your wish is not an order. There is no promise that you can get the types or amounts of units that you wish, though that is of course the goal.
2.3) You can change your wish. Send me a new PM with your new complete wish. It will replace your previous wish.
2.4) Wish-PM that are missing any of items (a)-(c) will be ignored.
2.5) Available choices include:
(a) Layout = US Qwerty or US Dvorak (cirka 50 of each)
(b) Enclosure color = white or red or black (amounts unknown)
The layouts are stickers, so choosing a layout does not dictate an enclosure color.
3) Dividing
3.1) We hope that everybody on the list can get at least one unit of choice. If not, we will try to negotiate a solution.
3.2) Any excess (after Rule 3) is divided as fairly as possible based on the additional wishes.
3.3) THE LIST stays open until (add date here?). After that, we will apply the rules until everybody is happy. We may now call the list THE ORDER LIST.
4) Checkout
4.1) Stenovations will get THE ORDER LIST plus the name/address details and begin "check out".
4.2) Stenovations will choose the method of checkout and payment. (It's their business, we're just privileged to get to buy these units.)
4.3) Stenovations can not act as warranty/repair party unless specifically expressed by Stenovations.
19feb: added Rule 2.5) about available choices and amounts.
