Cammy, I defended him too (for awhile) But saying he can't ship orders out because he's too depressed is just ridiculous. He wasn't too depressed to take the money from people.
Its very simple, give people back their money or ship their orders, people have waited over a year with no email, no refund, no product, and no communication from him.
if he's really strapped and can't give refunds than at least communicate that to the buyers and give them a date he feels he can issue a refund or ship their products.
I don't care how depressed you are, You can still send an email.
I liked his products, I hope he snaps out of it, repairs his reputation within the amiga community and starts making new products.
And in truth, I don't mean to sound insensitive to his problems. Its a shame if someone is really that depressed that it affects their life so much,but get some help, communicate with your customers, do something, don't just ignore people for over a year who paid you $$$ in good faith.
