We are working hard on it, and it will be ready soon. Thank you.
UPDATE:
Actualy, we're not working THAT hard on it.
Well, really not that hard.
It's really safe to assume - probably not hard at all.
You wouldn't be incorrect if you think, we're really not giving it our best effort...
One could say we work on it as little as possible. And that one would be right!
Honestly... we're working on it less than as little as possible, kind of like not working at all.
Yes, cool, fine, whatever, we admit that we really don't care to work very hard on it.
Ok, enough, we're not working on it at all! Happy now?
We haven't been at it in a long time and we likely won't, this kind of information is available on many places elsewhere on the Internet, and it could be obtained easily from many other sources... We are too busy with other important projects like refurbishing the machines already bought from us, deposits paid and shipping them out.
So there. Whew, what a relief and weight off the shoulders...
