Surely that's not an issue here <g>...we've been told repeatedly that the software is being designed/spec'd by Outlaw. I'm not sure why they needed to send an engineer to China to work with "developers" there? It's starting to sound like it is being DEVELOPED in China and perhaps just having some Outlaw tweaks folded in and THEN it will be physically manufactured/assembled in China as well.

Also, nobody does ANYTHING in China in the weeks preceding Chinese New Year. Pretty much the entire country stops doing meaningful work beginning a couple of weeks before, then folks disappear back to their hometowns for 1-2 weeks, and THEN they ease back into a normal work schedule over the next week or two. So to send someone to a Chinese engineering facility during that time frame is likely not going to result in a lot of useful work getting done. The New Year officially begins on January 23 this year so I'd say most of January and the first half of February is going to be pretty non-productive. People like inviting their foreign "partners" over during the pre-new years time so they can eat, drink, and be merry on laowai's dime while apologizing that key staff are on vacation already. Just sayin....

Welcome to China.
